Live Media is different. It is about conversations and content relationships. It comes from the bottom. It is open source. It is network.Live Media is bigger than Web 2.0 or even the read/write Web. Live Media is more than the Internet. The Internet is just the technology that has made it possible. Live Media is a process and a cultural practice. It is about the way people read (and write), consume (and produce), develop their own subjectivity, reconfgure the power relations around representation and storytelling. It is about people’s expectations and demands.Live Media is about mash-ups, blogs and comments, wikis and frontline podcasts. It is about mobile media and GarageBand. It is about SMS and social media. It is about tagging and folksonomy. It is about countless services and tools that are transparent because the focus is not on the technology, the medium or the tools but the stories.

Thanks for the link… and the compliment. i love the idea of a non-technological-determinist perspective… I’m just running a series of seminars around the UK evangelising about the Live Web for charities, campaigns et al and that’s exactly what I’m trying to get across.
