As we work to build the Center for Citizen Media in coming weeks and months, we envision three basic missions. They are: Research, Analysis, Advocacy: Working in-house and in collaboration with others, we will do or commission original research into some of the key questions surrounding citizen media, such as its impact on public knowledge […]

Interesting: MacMall is selling a Podcast Kit for podcast creators.

If you have the time and the inclination, our lunch-time discussion about citizen media at the Berkman Center is here (MP3 file). Ethan Zuckerman blogged it comprehensively and was unfazed by my tossing one of the questions to him (he knew much more about the topic). David Weinberger, who also has copious notes, decided that […]

Dave Winer has posted a Diagram for HyperCamp, which looks like a great way to hold a gathering. My only caveat: The blogging table may be too big. I’d have a few tables, with enough distance between them, where people could collect according to specific interest and hold a conversation while they were blogging. I […]

The bloggers not only welcomed the lavish treatment and exclusive access bestowed upon them by the Republican National Committee and the Senate Republican Conference; they basked in it without reservation. They dropped names (White House adviser Karl Rove was the favorite), heaped praise on […]

Apple says no when I attempt to view one of its “Photocasting” pages with Firefox 1.5, the most up-to-date browser on the planet in most respects, and definitely the one that is becoming the browser of choice for many of us. Photocasting with Apple’s iPhoto product is basically like podcasting with pictures — a relatively […]

Joi Ito: Live Door raided last night. Horiemon has been rubbing old-school Japan the wrong way by challenging the establishment with clever financing and takeover attempts of the media etc. I can see how he would get targeted. On the other hand Japanese companies like his tend to be sloppy so I wouldn’t be surprised […]
