There is a lot of talk about innovations in business models in journalism and media. We've got news for you. Media is about people. They drive it. They shape it. They own it. Open sourced, crowdsourced, community-funded projects like Spot.us, Public Press, News Desk and others are vital experiments that are shaping the future business model of news. They are creating a new vibrant, ecosystem that is present and dynamic and is supported by people and not large dinosaurs.

The Social Media conversation often seems like one giant echochamber. While we are absorbed in very granular discussions of use (what it is, why it matters for commerce and how to gain advantage from it) and abuse (Twitter addiction & Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer etc.) a much larger drama is unfolding as a consequence of these technologies – the changing notions of identity, society and government brought about by a radical shift in communications technology.

The buzz about blogs peaked around 2006, yielding to “social media” like Twitter and Facebook and the promise of blogs supporting their proprietors seems illusory as ever. Is the blog still relevant? If so, how should bloggers adapt and what is their future? If not, where should we send flowers?

Leveraging social networks and social tools for event planning is turning event planning on its head. One person can plan, market, and executive significant events using only social media. Compare this to the democratization of other industries like journalism and design and it's clear things are changing.

There is something very unnovel about the whole novel-based storytelling experience. Traditional publishing is in steep decline.
The newspaper business is dead. The movie industry may not be far behind...even video games have lost their luster in the down economy.
Audiences want new challenges. They want more for their time and money and a new approach to storytelling that truly engages the audience might be the answer.
Come and listen to a panel of experts from a variety of creative disciplines explain how they are combining various forms of media to achieve truly remarkable results.

In recent years a new struggle has surfaced between two groups of people closely aligned in affinity but actively working against each other. The tools we create and use, like robots in a sci-fi epic, seem to both invite mob justice and attack the public without warning, with results merely trivial to some critically important.
In the war for who owns your experience, your data, and your brand the conflicts which were normally private in recent years are now public, loud, and hilarious.
A war has erupted online between Products and their Users: who is winning? And who will be claimed the victor?

Official technical documentation competes for attention against user-generated content. If organizations want their information to be relevant, they must shorten publishing cycles, allow readers to comment and modify documentation, and increase the candor of their documentation.
