Like Phil noted earlier today, the launch of Ourmedia.org has generated
a lot of traffic, but I strongly recommend that list members take a few
minutes to visit the site; I think it's one of the most important new
websites to come along in a while. Ourmedia is trying to build an online
commons where anyone who wants to produce Internet content -
particularly podcasts, video blogs and other large media files - will
have a free place where they can host this content. Ourmedia is
partnering with The Internet Archive to host content, and Creative
Commons for Internet-friendly licenses. Just for kicks, I uploaded one
of my podcasts yesterday (Anatomy of a CNN Interview), and it's
currently the most downloaded media file on the Ourmedia site. I'm sure
that won't last for very long, because there are so many people out
there with content much better than mine who will soon be using the site
to host their content.
Anyway, please check out www.ourmedia.org when you get a chance; if it
doesn't work the first time, try and try again, because it's worth it.
This site, I'm sure, will do a lot of great work when it comes to
bridging the content side of the digital divide.... -ac
