I have a dream for the Web...and it has twoparts. In the first part, the Web becomes amuch more powerful means for collaborationbetween people. I have always imaginedthe information space as something to whicheveryone has immediate and intuitive access,and not just to browse, but to create.Furthermore, the dream of people-to-peoplecommunication through shared knowledgemust be possible for groups of all sizes,interacting electronically with as much easeas they do now in person.—Tim Berners-LeeWeaving the Web, p 157, 1999

What is Social Media?


http://www.technologyevangelist.com/2007/11/overlapping_starfish.html



Definition of Social Media• Social Media is the democratization

of content and the understanding of the role people play in the process of not only reading and disseminating information, but also how they share and create content for others to participate. It is the shift from a broadcast mechanism to a many-to-many model, rooted in a conversational format between authors and people. (Brian Solis)

• Examples of social media applications – Wikipedia (reference)– MySpace and Facebook (social networking)– Twitter and Jaiku (microblogs)– YouTube (video sharing), Second Life

(virtual reality)– Digg and Reddit (news aggregation)– Flickr and Zooomr (photo sharing)– Blogtv, Justin.tv, and Ustream (livecasting)– Stickham, YourTrumanShow (episodic

online video)– del.icio.us (bookmarking)– World of Warcraft (online gaming)

Implications for daily life“The Web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect

—to help people work together—and not as a technical toy” —Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web (1999)

• A world of possibilities – Gain rapid access to information and people – Hold conversations with individuals & community; business &

government; local & global– Discover & share place, time and presence information with others

• New implications– Boundaries and contexts – public and private– Persistence of the “digital me” and “digital you” – Personal efficacy


Establishing a web presence

Web 1.0 (before dotcom bust)

1. Professional websites were difficult and expensive for individuals

2. Technical know-how (e.g. graphics design, HTML) required for publishing

3. Webhosting and domain name registration were expensive

4. Limited ability to voice individual opinions, engage in conversations

Web 2.0 (after dotcom bust)

1. Open source and social platforms make it easy and affordable for individuals

2. Open source “themes” and tools enable anyone to publish

3. Cheaper and Faster1. New domain names (e.g.) .me, .tv2. Many “free” and inexpensive web hosting

services

4. Highly engaged consumers, viral, fast spread of information

Mashup: Kutiman series on YouTube


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsBfj6khrG4&feature=channel

John Peters, in his book, Speaking into Air, claims that “in the age of electronic media, [communication] has become the art of reaching across the intervening spirits to touch another’s body (p.225),”

There is, indeed, pleasure in the physicality involved in creating something heartfelt, even as simple as a webcam video of you attempting to sing, and then sharing that with others. That pleasure is only surpassed at the moment it generates a physical response in another, the moment were the bodies in the medium are moved to action. http://flipthemedia.com/?s=kutiman

Resources needed to create a vlog

• Camcoder• Web Camera• Good quality microphone• Video Editing Software– WAX– Zwei-Stein– Apple iMovie– Windows Movie Maker– …..


Remixing, Mashups and User Generated Content

• “Sharing music without permission is a violation of copyright, as the industry contends, but digital technology makes downloading music off the Internet inevitable. The industry missed an opportunity to turn informal file-sharing into a profit center when it failed to buy Napster, the first of the popular downloading services, when it had a chance in 2000”

• “A few days ago a kid downloaded one of my songs from my Web site. He re-recorded it at home, changing the bits that he didn't like and then put up his version on his own site. The new version is written his way, with changes to the melodies and some of the lyrics and it is available as an MP3. It is unbelievable. If he can do that, imagine what can happen in the future”- David Bowie, January 1999
