A year ago, I wrote about how we needed to reclaim the phrase "transmedia storytelling" as a community from the plague of buzzworditis that was surrounding it. Sadly, that effort failed: more and more practitioners are future-proofing themselves by moving away - either subtly or explicitly - from the word. Even Creepy Wonka has been getting in on the action. "Transmedia" is on the downward slide of usefulness as a term and it is time to have a frank discussion about why, so that whatever label rises to take its place doesn't suffer from the same excesses and failures. Consider me Brutus in the court of Caesar: I've come to bury transmedia, not praise it.

Jack is a monster; a psychotic Twitter stalker who likes Prokofiev and liver. Jack is a fictional character, if he follows you, you might become part of his ghastly tale.

"rep.licants.org is a web service allowing users to install an artificial intelligence (bot) on their Facebook and/or Twitter account. From keywords, content analysis and activity analysis, the bot attempts to simulate the activity of the user, to improve it by feeding his account and to create new contacts with other users."

As we journey on what Dante called "our life's way", we are all creating private maps and organising experiences and memories along highly personal geographies. In return, maps invite travel, they inspire journeys. Each place-name is a prompt for a story. We each project our inner-self into this fictional territory of possibilities. Each crossroad offers a multitude of departure points for the unknown, for the unseen, for the untold desires. The map of Inward destinations summons the spectator to accommodate and project their own experiences onto it, and conform it to their reality.

Eine neue Hörspielfassung von Franz Kafkas "Der Process" macht jedem möglich, den Roman-Kapiteln eine eigene Reihenfolge zu geben. Welches die richtige ist, weiß nämlich niemand.

Russell's disappointment in LinkedIn implies that the term 'social networking' makes little sense if we leave out the objects that mediate the ties between people. Think about the object as the reason why people affiliate with each specific other and not just anyone. For instance, if the object is a job, it will connect me to one set of people whereas a date will link me to a radically different group. This is common sense but unfortunately it's not included in the image of the network diagram that most people imagine when they hear the term 'social network.' The fallacy is to think that social networks are just made up of people.

When I grew up in the 50s, reading and writing were activities conducted alone and in silence. Twenty years from now, as my grandchildren come of age, I expect these formerly solitary behaviors will be perceived as highly social - something we do, more often than not, with others. This insight comes in large part from a series of experiments conducted over the past five years with my colleagues at The Institute for the Future of the Book. They strongly suggest that when we move texts from the printed page to a networked screen, the social aspect of reading and writing moves to the foreground.

OpenIDEO is a place where people design better, together for social good. It's an online platform for creative thinkers: the veteran designer and the new guy who just signed on, the critic and the MBA, the active participant and the curious lurker. Together, this makes up the creative guts of OpenIDEO.
