Description:

Are we so interesting? Limitless distribution allows us, some more than others, to share ourselves without boundaries. This panel explores new roles and economics in storytelling, (artist, voyeur, marketer, or whatever role assumed in a given moment) from the perspective of online celebrity, journalist, and other creators of stories.

cool idea sara! I think its interesting how you are choosing to explore this through not only the creators but the experts who can speak more objectively on this topic

great topic - wonder if the storytelling servers the creator more than the audience.

Sarah S always asks thought-provoking questions and is the Web's leading expert on story telling...

Very interesting topic idea! It's amazing how pretty much anyone can be a storyteller nowadays thanks to the internet. I'd love to hear the personal perspectives from the different creators.

I resent the word narcissism. My uncontrollable desire to distribute viral videos of myself doing inane things to the masses is an absolute need - just like my room of mirrors and real doll...of myself.

A fascinating topic worth more than just an hour's worth of discussion... it's an important concept we should all be wrestling with for a variety of reasons.
