“IT DOESN’T MATTER…” Fine Art Print by Steve Leadbeater [1923128-6] - RedBubble

Positioning itself as a sort of hybrid between podcasts and Twitter, RnSK Softronics‘ WorldVoice Radio iPhone app allows users to share short audio messages or musings. Users set up their own in-app station, which is categorized geographically and assigned a personal “frequency” identification, which can be supplemented with personal information and a unique icon if desired.

When you read a great book, the story doesn’t stop there, you tell your friends, you discuss the book with others, and a myth is built around that book. This will largely be shaped by your close networks, what you have seen/read/heard about the book in other media etc. While the audience may not be actively communicating with the author, they are certainly shaping the subjective story that emerges. For the story, once read, becomes independent of the page and subject to the experiences, views and symbolic belief systems of the audience. In a sense, nothing has changed. Their are still people creating and people consuming. However, the crucial aspect is the currency of openness and speed. The creator must now use the feedback of the audience to refine, defend or promote their story and be clear in their reasons for producing the story in the first place.

The Inevitable Battle

I think you’d agree after looking at the list above that right-brained thinkers sound like designers, and left-brained thinkers sound like developers. So it stands to reason that the common struggles that occur between designers and developers are nothing more than the predictable nature of a right-brained thinker versus a left-brained thinker. Moreover, it makes perfect sense that if these two mind sets can find some common ground, they can produce greater results together than they ever could apart from one another. So the key issue becomes, how to benefit from the different schools of thought, rather than allowing them to have a detrimental effect.

“Mid-Tail” / New Media Viewership Growing On YouTube

TubeMogul writes: “Michael Learmonth over at AdAge included some of these figures in his recent piece on YouTube’s future, but I thought I would share the full graph. Basically, we took the top 100 all-time most-viewed “mid-tail” or “new media studio” content creators (i.e. Next New Networks, Howcast Studios, The Wall Street Journal’s videos etc.) and looked at their viewership growth. The results? Over the past six months, publishers saw their daily average views grow by an average of 4.98% per month.”
