www.ted.com James Surowiecki pinpoints the moment when social media became an equal player in the world of news-gathering the 2005 tsunami, when YouTube video, blogs, IMs and txts carried the news — and preserved moving personal stories from the tragedy.

While the issue of reliability of news gathered by bloggers and user-submitted & edited articles (you know what I’m talking about) remains a debated issue, I think this movement that’s occurring might be a well-deserved reprieve towards the increasingly rampant and unchecked editorializing of the news. Early in the 20th century, printed media was now a tool of the people, and amateur journalism was the result. While I’m critical of web 2.0, this movement might be the beginning of something good.
As he says himself a lot of what he says at the start is fairly well known about the benefits of Web 2.0, but I thought the downsides he mentioned in the “circular mill” example very throught provoking and struck home to me as a real risk.
free as in freedom! not as in no money…you make a mistake common by those unfamiliar with the movement.
wasn’t very interesting.. nothing new?
yeah, it’s pure laziness on the TED posters part but it’s just not a big deal. their actual website displays the whole title with the 2 remaining characters: WS
That’s my point.
Did you read my post or just skim it?
TED has been doing this for a while. They need to learn the process.
Try reading posts before commenting.
relax lol there’s a character limit for titles

You can’t take money out of the ecuation. Youtube and Blogger aren’t free – someone still pays for the hosting, the administration, the constant maintenance, etc.
The process is invisible to the end-users and the content-creators, but the “open source” experience would be impossible without money.
So basically ideas that thrive on the web–that are getting choosen by a large number of people–have strenghs and weaknesses. some of them thrive because they’re good, and some of them thrive because they’re alarmist or have an evil advantage. It’s hard to pull off from these ideas–they infect us no matter what.
indeed most memeticists refer to some ideas or memes as being dangerous ‘mind viruses’ and other as being rather useful or symbiotic for the host.
so yep. makes sense so far.
hm again. the dark side of trends on the web… well that’s memetics too! basically he’S saying: crowds are good at finding new ideas. that means basically trends are good. and then he says well trends have a dark side–there’s also bad sometimes, because it becomes a trend and people don’T think by themselves. this totally makes sense with memetics. we teamed up with memes because it’S overall useful, and indeed most trends are useful. but not all–sometimes we better think by ourselves.
hm. that masses be better at finding things than individuals, that’s interesting. I think it’s a matter of natural selection. since ideas are memes, then finding good ideas is not necessarly a matter of ‘being more inventive’ individually but rather a matter of having a larger amount of propositions and a larger number of minds that will select these larger number of ideas. it’s basically speeding up the natural selection process in other words. and that can,sometimes, better thatn 1 specialist.
hahahaha thumbs down dude .(

Think about your title! DUH!
well… eventually yeah. after we weave out the liars and we find the honest ones out there. For now i’m hearing a bit too much ‘Hey look how unjustifiably angry i am!’ and ‘You should be as afraid as I am!’ And btw there are of course independent news newtworks online. Because we’re starting to watch less tv news in this country !FINALLY!
Talking is sooo overrated. Shoot first, talk later.
Talk about the problem first, then find a solution.
and what was the point of telling us all of this???? the people were TOLD of the wave coming… did they believe it?? no!
