Back to the Action...
With our trophies in tow, what else is grabbin' the feeds...
***'Smart Mobs' guides a you to a great article from Peggy Anne Salz of 'The Feature'. Check it out here...
Salz interviews MIT expert, Eric Von Hippel, about Von Hippel's new book 'Democratizing Innovation'. 'Smart Mobs' is hot on this topic because it was addressed in the last chapter of the "Smart Mobs" book, which questions whether we will be active users who shape media in the future, or whether DRM and other restrictions will confine us to the role of passive consumers.
In 'Democratizing Innovation',Von Hippel has developed a non-systematic model for companies to use a user-centered innovation process in order to tap into the innovation model of their lead user communities.
Von Hippel talks about empowering users by providing toolkit methods to allow users to tinker with products and services for innovating the uses to make contributions for future products...Not a bad idea...Will product developers listen?...
***I've seen the reports about Al Gore's new CurrentTV project...Check out more details here from CNNMoney...This blogga here loves the tie-in with Google, and perhaps we will have a TV news show that will truly be tying 'convergence' with online content.
However, do you think it will work? With support from Google, financial backing from Rob Glaser of RealNetworks and Bob Pittman, who has probably cleaned his wounds from his time at AOL Time Warner, it could definitely happen.
With user-generated type content that could be crossed-over from Von Hippel's description above, creating video based mini-documentaries based upon the most popular Google searches is a very cool thing. More importantly, it could be another cool way of changing the way media is reported...'We the Media' by Dan Gilmour, right? How's that for innovation?
P.S. If you're still looking for great pics of Franklin Street, be sure to hit Fred Stutzman's collection...Good stuff, but where's that girl who hugged me the other night...She's fine!
