Insinuating

Jeff Jarvis.

So imagine this future without pages and sites, this future that’s all built on process over product. If you’re what used to be a content-creation – if you’re Stephen Fry, post-media – you’re all about insinuating yourself into that stream. If you’re about content curation – formerly known as editing – then you’re all about prioritizing streams for people; that’s how you add value now.

Getting people to come to you so you can tell them what you say they should know while showing them ads they didn’t want from advertisers who bear the cost and risk of the entire experience? That’s just so 2008. Now it’s time to go with the stream.


Yup.

National Times a lifeless commentary sheet

Fairfax's commentary experiment the National Times is now live.

Immediate thought? Unlike News Ltd's The Punch and Crikey this looks like a pretty lifeless attempt at the commentary and aggregation game - and it looks like yet another newspaper transported to the web - it's on the web, but not really a part of it.

Follow the links

 

Now how the hell did I end up reading a sociology blog on conformity to social hierarchies? The link economy of course.

Lets have a bit of fun today

Your World of Text

Your World of Text is an infinite grid of text editable by any visitor. The changes made by other people appear on your screen as they happen. Everyone starts in the same place, but you can scroll through the world using your mouse.

Put any letters at the end of the URL to go to a new world. For example, http://yourworldoftext.com/forexample. They all start off blank. If you use something hard to guess, no one will be able to visit your world unless you tell them about it.

Here's one I've set up for Australian Politics and another for cycling. Have at it.
