grabbed this link from Jenkin's post on 'seven principles of transmedia storytelling"

I'm preaching to the choir with this one.

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.

"Transmedia," he said, "will not just be a buzz word."

Good ideas for using Diigo beyond the basics, making connections.

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

A manifestation of transmedia 'consumption' and critique from a fan's perspective

The Edge question for 2010 is "How is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?" Playwright Richard Foreman asks about the replacement of complex inner density with a new kind of self-evolving under the pressure of information overload and the technology of the "instantly available". Is it a new self? Are we becoming Pancake People - spread wide and thin as we connect with that vast network of information accessed by the mere touch of a button. Technology analyst Nicholas Carr wrote the most notable of many magazine and newspaper pieces asking "Is Google Making Us Stupid". Has the use of the Web made it impossible for us to read long pieces of writing? Social software guru Clay Shirky notes that people are reading more than ever but the return of reading has not brought about the return of the cultural icons we'd been emptily praising all these years. "What's so great about War and Peace?, he wonders. Having lost its actual centrality some time ago, the literary world is now losing its normative hold on culture as well. Is the enormity of the historical shift away from literary culture now finally becoming clear? Science historian George Dyson asks "what if the cost of machines that think is people who don't?" He wonders "will books end up back where they started, locked away in monasteries and read by a select few?". Web 2.0 pioneer Tim O'Reilly, ponders if ideas themselves are the ultimate social software. Do they evolve via the conversations we have with each other, the artifacts we create, and the stories we tell to explain them? Frank Schirrmacher, Feuilleton Editor and Co-Publisher of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, has noticed that we are apparently now in a situation where modern technology is changing the way people behave, people talk, people react, people think, and people remember.

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? 

"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)

Interesting take on iPad purposing in the corporate world - has implications for educational computing across the spectrum of transmedia application opportunities.
