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?
