What the Barenaked Ladies Know
I don’t need to go to concerts much any more. I don’t like waiting in line. I don’t like standing around. My ears hurt if it’s too loud (too much heavy metal as a high school kid). And honestly, I don’t connect the same way with a big concert hall full of people.
But a guy playing guitar in the bathroom? I’m right there with him:
What if YOUR media was that personal?
Thanks to Sandy for turning me on to this song.
Participatory Culture and Human Search
Tonight, I pointed out on Twitter that a free video of Zoe Keating got me to buy one of her albums.
Then, TheJennTaFur said back that I needed to check out Nuttin But Stringz if I liked Zoe. She was right. It’s really cool. Here’s a little interview:
We are in a time where participation is so easy. We can get involved. We can share. We can collaborate. We can point and help define.
One reason I support Mahalo and other human curation projects relates to what Doc Searls said the other day on Steve Gillmor’s The Gang. He said it’s arrogant to think that Larry and Serge have solved seach and that nothing more will advance the field (or something to that effect). He’s right, and I think that PART of that will be human curation and participatory search.
What’s your take?
