Interesting read on forecasting the fit for mobile apps in the arts.

Interesting observations on using blogs, Flickr, Facebook, and Youtube.

Good post regarding arts media, social tools.

Good reflections on effective strategies for using social media to promote arts organizations.

Definitely taking creative and performing arts to the social networking, promotion, and marketing level. Edge.

I'm thinking of buying the book just to see what her strategies are.

This panel will broaden the discussion of transmedia properties to areas beyond the commercial or promotional. What are the potentials for transmedia to be used to affect social change? What parallels can we draw between the activities fan communities and other sites of collective activity? How does participation in the collectives that emerge around transmedia properties equip young people with skills as citizens? What responsibilities should corporations bear, if any, as they try to court fan communities and deep engagement? 

From the 1/12 edition of the NY Times. "Mr. Lanier, a musician and avant-garde computer scientist - he popularized the term "virtual reality" - wonders if the Web's structure and ideology are fostering nasty group dynamics and mediocre collaborations. His new book, "You Are Not a Gadget," is a manifesto against "hive thinking" and "digital Maoism," by which he means the glorification of open-source software, free information and collective work at the expense of individual creativity."

Video Vortex "focuses on the status and potential of the moving image on the Internet..." Over the past years the place of the moving image on the Internet has become increasingly prominent. With a wide range of technologies and web applications within anyone's reach, the potential of video as a personal means of expression has reached a totally new dimension. How is this potential being used? How do artists and other political and social actors react to the popularity of YouTube and other 'user-generated-content' websites? What does YouTube tell us about the state of contemporary visual culture? And how can the participation culture of video-sharing and vlogging reach some degree of autonomy and diversity, escaping the laws of the mass media and the strong grip of media conglomerates?"

"With the emergence of Facebook, Twitter, RSS, and blogs; the development of the iPhone, iTunes, the Kindle, and the pending iPad; and the continued utility of email, which has only been enhanced by smartphones - well, there's a question haunting the status quo of Web development for publishers: Do you really need all that Web site?"

thanks to Doug for passing this along; as he notes, there are implications for notions surroudning 'tech skills' w/i AAD, as well as some key questions about the near- and distant- future with regards to online presenation/dissemination of info & knowledge (in arts/culture sector specifically, but also in general)

Excellent piece describing use of Transmedia in developing, presenting and promoting projects. Additional links from this page to pieces on Transmedia for Social Change, and more.

"Gamification is the application of game technology and game design outside "gamespace" and the acceptance of games in non-gaming sectors"

What struck me first in a negative way was the focus on commercialism and corporate marketing. Simple because corporate ownership of media isn'tinline with my vale system. I am pleased and most interested in. The application to social cause. Very intriguing art applications.
