Warren Ellis continues to speak with better grace than I.<\/p>\n
from http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/mistersleepless\/20538.html?nc=30<\/p>\n
This is something I was talking about with a friend on a private forum
\nlast night. It’s been in my head for a couple of weeks. I’m going to
\nroad test the notion here.<\/p>\n
Combat big media. Use the web.<\/p>\n
Every
\nday, people release new creative work on to the web. Prose, essays
\n(often in blog form), art, photography, music, animation, video, spoken
\nword, whatever. The web, and a bunch of free or cheap tools, gives the
\ncreator access to the full spectrum of media for web broadcast.<\/p>\n
LiveJournal
\ngives you the ability to subscribe to other LJs, which you read on a
\ndynamically updating page – your own channel of selected content.<\/p>\n
Expand that up a bit.<\/p>\n
Take Dr Joshua Ellis’ notion of “taste tribes,” small communities connected by a shared aesthetic.<\/p>\n
Now,
\nyou and your tribe — and if you’re all on Tribe.net, you can grab a
\nbit of code from the site that displays you all on a sidebar on your
\nwebsite — select out the content streams on the web you like. Your
\nfavourite online comics, the internet radio stations you like, the
\nartists who put new mp3s and art and photography on their sites, etc.<\/p>\n
You grab some webspace. Your Hub, if you like.<\/p>\n
And
\nyou cause to be created a system whereby the Hub is informed when one
\nof your selected sites updates. The way a blog puts a new entry at the
\ntop. The way a new piece by a favoured LJ appears at the top of your
\nFriends page.<\/p>\n
You’ve just built a multimedia channel in webspace.<\/p>\n
<\/i>Go take a look. Some very smart people have been commenting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
