I wanted to make sure this group knew about The Media Center's new collaborative blog project at morph <http://www.mediacenterblog.org/http:/www.mediacenterblog.org/> .
As you know, The Media Center is about conversations and ideas that skip and frolic across the media landscape and all sectors of society. Last Friday, we launched The Media Center Conversations collaborative blog project. It's organized around a loose confederation of topics, each managed and moderated by an editor or editors. The topic editors determine themes, organize contributors and moderate discussions. They also look out for common themes, applicable insights and parallels outside their topic areas to weave into their own, thereby blurring the lines between the separate conversations and reflecting the mash-up essence of We Media. Conversation cycles run from Friday (when the following week's agenda is set) through Thursday. We have an amazing group of editors and contributors all actively thinking about and building the trust and social networks enabled by the Internet and other communications tools, a phenomenon which is transforming society and the world. What will come out of this very unique and eclectic set of people? What insights, ideas and connections will arise? What issues will come to seem most critical? Where and how will the different conversations overlap and converge? Of course, the more people joining the conversation via the comments function, the more successful the project, so please jump in and tell your friends to jump in. It's a great opportunity to mix it up with some of the leading voices in We Media.
