Circa has created a new news app that will screw up journalism. As a story surfaces, the app updates the story from multiple sources found on the internet. Instead of reading one article, one will just read updates as they come about.

Like Jenkins discusses in the Participatory Culture, more and more children have access to creating technology that was at first limited to "experts" or adults. This article provides and example of this in Thomas Suarez who is a 12 year old who has created several of his own apps for iPads and iPhones. He has also has created an App Club at his school.

A good music app that hasn't been corrupted by the big industries yet!

This cool app lets you make remixes on your iPhone.

It's kind of annoying how influenced good sites/apps can be by corporations. Instagram is basically turning into Facebook.

"Freemium" can build a customer base for apps on iOS/Android/etc., but does it generate revenue? If we apply this model to remix, then having The Beatles hate on Danger Mouse's Grey Album makes complete sense. From a business perspective...

i agree this is a big challenge. does remix culture, as we've outlined so far, contribute or enhance this dilemma?

I guess we (as "remixers") have to consider how we want people to respond to a remix. What is their next step when they hear/see it? Just to share it, or to somehow engage with the content more deeply that perhaps leads to a purchase? I don't think we've quite outlined yet our main endgame, or deliverable from the "consumer," with a remix.

Question of ownership... does Canada have the right to restrict internet usage? What about apps and websites that rely on heavy data usage? Who owns this right to all this data?

What does it mean for something to be free on the marketplace and how can it be turned around for profit? A la remix, can songs/videos that are available for free be an entry point (freemium) for the purchasing of more content? And is this a valid business model in today's digital economy?

i think this is worthy of a discussion. songs are "consumed" and apps are iterative and used.
