One of the new media matters we studied is the occurring rise of the blogging phenomenon. The way we use the web is shifting in a fundamental way. Instead of being passive consumers of information, more and more internet users are becoming active participants. This is why blogging and other forms of unfettered expression on the web are often referred to as the rise of participatory culture.
Besides providing academic insight, we aimed for this blog to be a testing ground for commercial opportunities in blogging. Our objective is to reach a wide international audience and by doing so generating financial gain. By the end of this academic year (July 2007) we expected to have accumulated enough capital to pay for a three course dinner at one of Amsterdam’s hotspots. Our experiment had mixed success.
And yet, we continue to contribute on Masters of Media and our own blogs. By checking back regularly, we hope you will learn from our moves and mistakes in the process of commercializing our site. In return we look to provide a critical view of the global conversation of the web, helping you to tune into what’s interesting, topical, entertaining, and just plain fun.
