Culture of Content Creation
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.
"Social media is taking off" focuses on app reviewer Bryan Schiele. Bryan has a segment on CBS affiliate KPHO called Tech Tuesday where he goes in depth about a variety of emerging applications and technology. He finds them to be an amazing part of the social media wave. He gets great joy out of sharing information and interacting with people online. Bryan comments on how social media continues to evolve and notes that passion is the main driver of these powerful trends. He goes on to say that if you are truly engaged and care about what you are putting on the web that it will become contagious and people will find your content. Another element that piques his interest is how the technology has gone mobile and how the ease of sharing is making it possible for everyone to get involved. So grab your tablet, smart phone, or laptop and check out, "Social media is taking off."
