A Most Significant Friday PM Book Discovery:
_Blogs, Wikipedia, Second Life, and Beyond: From Production
to Produsage _
We the users turned creators and distributors of content are
TIME's Person of the Year 2006, and AdAge's advertising
agency of the year. We form a new Generation C. We have
MySpace, YouTube, and OurMedia; we run social software, and
drive the development of Web 2.0. But beyond the hype,
what's really going on?
In this groundbreaking exploration of our developing
participatory online culture, Axel Bruns establishes the
core principles which drive the rise of collaborative
content creation in environments from open source through
blogs and the Wikipedia to Second Life. He shows that what's
emerging here is no longer just a new form of content
production, but a new process for the continuous creation
and extension of knowledge and art by collaborative
communities: produsage. The implications of the gradual
shift from production to produsage are profound, and will
affect the very core of our culture, economy, society, and
democracy.
