Checking out old blogs
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Blogging

Hello, checking out this old blog. I used to scribble notes here. The idea wasn't to write digital stories. This was my notbook.

I've been checking out some old stuff. Decided to recycle and rewriten. The notbook idea is good for the future as well. 

Short notes about things that will be edited elsewhere is the idea. The notes are public.

I plan to write more about building, new materials, renovation and about new community concepts.

Social Networking
Mood:  bright
Topic: Social Networking
Social networks, mobile video and googling will continue to transform the Net in years ahead. "The Google revolution is not over yet," according to some industry analysts. I try to highlighting current Internet trends, focusing on several topics, including

* entertainment,
* advertising,
* international markets and
* social networks.

Social networks are poised to shape the Internet's future, despite some skepticism about how they will make money.

Social networks such as MySpace.com are already challenging traditional portals. MySpace, for example, has surpassed MSN and AOL by measure of monthly page views and its traffic equals roughly 75 percent of Yahoo's, the No. 1 site on the Web.

MySpace attracted 50 million visitors in March.
The question remains how and if these companies make money, comparing the expectations around social networks and video sites like YouTube.com. Maybe this is leading to a version of the Internet bubble.

Growth opportunities within the market will be for niche communities targeted at middle-age or young Web surfers. A host of family social-networking sites have cropped up already. Maybe Yahoo and other portals have to team with MySpace and others to attempt to direct their mounting influence among Web surfers.

Online advertising dollars continue to lag behind Internet usage in the United States. Roughly 172 million Americans visit the Web in a month, according to ComScore, but online ad sales, expected at $16 billion in 2006, are still a small fraction of the hundreds of billions of ad dollars spent annually. In the next 10 years, this gap will close, but the spending will likely never be equivalent.

Content and communities are corners for investment and growth The advertising gap will not likely be closed by blogs or social networks. That's because blogs may contain unsavory material that marketers often don't want their products to be associated with.

Mobile devices are another growth opportunity, and video will be a particular complement. Mobile is going to be BIG.

Social Media
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Blogging
Topic: Blogging
Social Media is a young area with early adopter uptake. So what does it mean to be an expert podcaster, an expert in blogging, or any of the other domains of peer production?

- Expertise
- You need to participate to understand
- How do you the rest feel about it

You have to use the tools to know them

- Blogging compared to Usenet
- What about people commenting
- Able to record a podcast
- Also to do a video

Comparable experience from another point of view

- There are different barriers
- If they are limited in their view to printing
- This is a new medium

We have the right to judge

- Who are in the process
- Where is the information coming from?
- What is the origin?
- You need a level of expertise
- Produce a podcast for you

We got a problem here

- No voice over IP for the moment
- They didn't edit the information
- When they do blogging workshops
- Will anybody read the blogs

Where do you wanna go?

- Write a journal
- Write a business blog

At the same time they are producers

- They know how to make a record
- This social media is so new
- There are no standards
- We don't know what the need skills are for a blogger

Videoblogging

- People coming from network television
- Technically include don't know how to hold the camera
- The skills from old media
- How to combine both

Hybrid

- I love technology
- Art director in real life
- I have a lot to contribute
- I can form and phrase things so people understand

Conversational Media

- blogging
- transfer from that
- easy accessible
- flickr
- there are so many in between them
- a whole lot of people saying this and that
- do we need to have a website

The numbers communicating

- most blogs drop down in 3 months
- it's still an astronomical number of people blogging

What's in a name? Or label? How do the labels that we use or that are used by others impact mainstreaming of new media and perceptions of what blogs, podcasts, and video blogs/podcasts and other new media are about?
