The Culture of Content Creation is a video series about people who make their own digital content to share with the world - such as blogs, podcasts, wiki entries, online product reviews or videos - to learn why they do it, what they find rewarding, and how they view their role in the world. Started in early 2008, this cultural media project from Elastic Lab continues today, reflecting changes in technology, knowledge and the social fabric of the Internet.
"The future is already here," features Eurocheapo.com founder, editor, and curator Tom Meyers. Tom has created a website that helps people find options and deals for traveling all across Europe. The site contains reviews from writers from the U.S. and Europe who give their readers insider knowledge on how to do it right when traveling abroad. With hotel reviews, flight information, car rentals, local transit info, Eurocheapo removes the hassle out taking a trip. What began as a simple idea soon developed into one of the most comprehensive databases on European travel anywhere online. In 2007 they launched their budget travel blog which goes into great detail on ways to get around even cheaper. In this video Tom gives insight into how his community is constantly evolving and how it is his obligation to empower the readers to connect with each other online. So pack your bags and take trip with, "The future is already here."
