From : Karmagrrrl's Video Podcast
(video from This American Life illustrates how cameras change our behavior) Interesting article from TechCrunch about Fort Hood and the state of Citizen Journalism: Excerpt: For all of our talk about “the world watching”, what good did social media actually do for the people of Iran? Did the footage out of the country actually change the outcome of the elections? No. Despite a slew of YouTube videos and a couple of thousand foreign Twitter users turning their avatar green and pretending to be in Tehran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is still in power. It’s astonishing, really. Despite how successful ten million actual voters marching through Washington, London and other major cities in 2003 were in stopping the invasion of Iraq, a bit of entirely virtual cyber-posturing by foreigners didn’t lead to real change in Iran. …none of us think we’re being selfish or egotistic when we tweet something, or post a video on YouTube or check-in using someone’s address on Foursquare. It’s just what we do now, no matter whether we’re heading out for dinner or witnessing a massacre on an Army base. Like Lord of the Flies, or the Stanford Prison Experiment , as long as we’re all losing our perspective at the same time – which, as a generation growing up with social media we are – then we don’t realise that our humanity is leaking away until its too late. Chuck Olsen chimes in: I think your cautionary warning is a good one. We should take a step back and consider our shifting personal and social boundaries. That doesn’t mean you should condemn the entirety of citizen journalism, and in fact you haven’t presented a case for that. I co-founded a citizen journalism non-profit called The UpTake, and we’re proud to have produced stories not seen elsewhere, either because corporate media outlets didn’t have enough monetary interest (MN senate recount) or we simply had more people on the street with cameras (RNC). A single eyewitness twitter report from inside an army base, or a single child’s statement that his brother was in the balloon — unverified reports from a single source should always be met with healthy skepticism. We simply have more raw news and opinion streaming over and around us. We have to be smarter news consumers and triangulate the truth. ]]> Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:49:36 -0500 (video from This American Life illustrates how cameras change... 25368791 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/the-golden-age-of-video-awesome-video-mashup-by-ricardo/25368791

This is my Alma Mater. So proud to have been a Mott Holler! The schooling and support I received there was just amazing. Glad to see that the force is still strong with the young Padawans. :) Can’t wait to go back and visit one day. 4/5/6/7/8BYTE FTW! MOTT HALL STUDENTS DISCUSS THE RUN FOR WATER ON CBS’ EARLY SHOW On Tuesday, October 13th, the students at Mott Hall Science and Technology Academy were up at 4:30 A.M. to show their support for clean drinking water. The students have committed to participate in the Dow Live Earth Run for Water on April 18th and were helping us tell the world about the event by appearing on CBS’s The Early Show. It was cold, but the kids from Mott Hall realized that there were kids like them all over the world who didn’t have water in their schools. In fact, half of the world’s schools lack access to clean drinking water and safe sanitation. read the rest at liveearth.com ]]> Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:16:00 -0400 This is my Alma Mater.

Thanks to David Sasaki for including Epic Fu in his most recent presentation in Budapest about digital craftsmanship. With sales of virtual goods hitting $1 billion in 2009, this talk comes at an opportune time. What does craftsmanship look like in the digital age? How is value placed? Both information and digital tools have become abundant online, and you can sense a growing desire for craftsmanship and artisanship. For products that are produced slowly over time. For digital goods that are both beautiful and beautifully made. Definitely give the rest of the transcript a read over on David’s site, it’ll get you thinking. You can also follow David’s work on Twitter. ]]> Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:39:14 -0400 Thanks to David Sasaki for including Epic Fu in his most recent... 24174830 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/cool-head-steady-trigger-finger-io/24174830
