Comments on: The New Community http://www.radioopensource.org/the-new-community/ Christopher Lydon in conversation on arts, ideas and politics Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:52:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: TypewriterLove http://www.radioopensource.org/the-new-community/#comment-90937 TypewriterLove Wed, 04 Jul 2007 16:13:41 +0000 http://www.radioopensource.org/?p=1147#comment-90937 The comments section here displays both sides of what the program discussed: people going somewhere to talk on a specific subject, yet at the same time engaging in discussions with those they already know. At least from elsewhere on the site, and from previous disagreements. That said, the one thing I would have loved to hear was that Content is King. The corporations that are using marketing in the fashion that Larry discusses can't do it if their product is crap. If it is, not only will no-one buy it, they'll blog about not buying and share the links. So much of internet traffic is link-sharing these days, and having people coming to your site requires something that provokes them enough to get them there. (I.e. A Blog With A Radio Show!) And then having unique content in the same vein as whatever brought them in the first place. The straight-to-the-buyer facet of the net may eventually wean people from buying something because the commercial implied you would get babes (or dudes) if you bought it... (Or it might convince you all the more, letting you chat with pre-purchased sexy people who likewise suggest the purchase.)

I think it’s relevant to this show (I’ll find out in about 3.5 hrs when it’s broadcast here in Seattle) Anyway, you can listen to the interview here: http://wordforword.publicradio.org/ I heard Thomas Friedman interview Dov Seidman about his book How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything…in Business (and in Life).

This is why I chose a forum for my community's online communication technology. I agree that the ability to create threads and pick up old threads at any time is critical. I do think there are improvements that can be made. Jon Garfunkel's "ViewPoints" is of great interest to me. see here: http://civilities.net/ViewPoints (He also has a very constructive idea about comment management. He's a tech head who has given serious thought to the underlying systems of human communication and he comes up with valuable insights about how to approach social software.) mulp, it sounds like Notes/phpBB/forum software is really more social than blog software.
