| Meta-editorialism: Part Five | | 2007-07-03 17:01:00 | | A logical outgrowth of the Long Island 3.0 concept is a virtual mass communications network.This would include all of the elements we have previously talked about including LIWIKI, Long Island Metadata Portal, Long Island Alert System(s) and the Long Island Congress (Virtual Community Congress, Long Island Citizen Media Network/Long Island Citizen Alert Network) inclusive) among the major concepts.What does this mean for the traditional forms of mass communication? As the semantic or knowledge based web advances it obviously allows more choice not only in the type of information available, but how we receive it.Traditional sources will still maintain a level of respect, but people will expect more from them. As the web 2.0 is beginning to demonstrate, there is an explosion of information and ideas available and the manner in which we interact with one another is becoming more and more sophisticated.What is needed now is more structure to, what seems to be, chaos. It isn't really chaot | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |
| | Meta-Editorialism: Part Four | | 2007-06-20 17:51:00 | | ''A smart mob is a form of self-structuring social organization through technology-mediated, intelligent "emergent behavior". The concept was introduced by Howard Rheingold in his book Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution. According to Rheingold, smart mobs are an indication of the evolving communication technologies that will empower the people.'' Wikipedia, Smart Mob What does this mean for the ability of mainstream media to influence public opinion and drive public policy? What does it mean for political parties? What does it mean for Long Island?It is absolutely a brave new world folks. Will it help Long Island come together or drive us further apart?I prefer to think the former rather than the latter.What do you think? | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |
| | Meta-Editorialism: Part Three | | 2007-05-30 17:35:00 | | Good article on the concept of "crowd sourcing" and its application for online marketing.While the information here is probably a little too broad for our present purposes, it does point what direction the web is headed and how it may affect the method by which the public interacts with media and government.It also reinforces the idea of a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving we talked about in previous posts.Whether we are marketing products or marketing ideas, opinions and concepts, the processes for distributing the information are pretty similar. | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |

| Meta-Editorialism:Part Two | | 2007-05-01 22:18:00 | | A preliminary diagram (I'm sure I missed something).Word and other types of filters are critical to the end user's ability to access the great amount of information available. This information will only grow with Web 2.0 and the advancements of the Semantic (Knowledge) Web or Web 3.0.We'll explore this in future posts. | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |
| | Meta-Editorialism:Part One | | 2007-05-01 17:15:00 | | How do editorial writers (editors/producers) stay relevant in the new Web 2.0 environment ?Question. Why does the public care what an editorial writer thinks when there are so many bloggers and others out there with an opinion? Isn't their opinion as valid as the traditional editorial writer/producer?There is a lot of content on the internet but how much of it is relevant content that furthers the public debate in a productive way?Web 2.0 is content driven and has an insatiable need for new content every day. How can a traditional editorial staff provide this content? Maybe the answer is that it no longer can.Perhaps editorial writers/producers must morph into "meta-editorialists" (A meta-editorial is "a researched and evaluated contribution") who act as gatekeepers, moderators and sometimes collaborators with the "best and brightest" minds in the region. This way there should be an endless stream of productive ideas, thoughts and opinions to draw upon and utilize.On Long Island, ther | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |
