BlogArt
RatcliffeBlog: Business, Technology & Investing -> Harold Gilchrist has a great suggestion for a sort of community of practice that would be facilitated by better multimedia support in blog tools, which he calls BlogArt:
I starting thinking this week about "personal multimedia clip art" and how we will use it, re-use it and share it in the next phase of blogging, blogging 2G.
Just like we don't publish everything we write, we also won't publish everything we shoot with a camera or camcorder or say into a digital voice recorder. As we move to the next phase of blogging that includes integrating multimedia easily into blogs, the art we publish will based on the context of the communication, specifically the subject of the post or the story. This is not to say that the multimedia art we didn't publish today won't get used tomorrow or by someone else in a totally different context in the future.
I am asking all blog tool publishing vendors to start thinking about features that will give their customers ways to share their BlogArt. Just as we can share each others posts and links today we will need to able to share our multimedia BlogArt and the ability to subscribe to others multimedia BlogArt galleries.
With this kind of tool, events would become the focal point for image and text stories recorded by the participants. Then, the question becomes how do we make our BlogArt meaningful to others? The great thing about blogging (and blogging as the foundation of new collaboration tools) is that users are always telling designers what they want. [RatcliffeBlog: Business, Technology & Investing]
