Here is a thread I have started on Seesmic to get feed back for my class at PSU and to take advantage of the “Wisdom of the Crowds”

Peter Gabriel has always been one of my favorites and really dig (and digg) this new project - The Filter I love this idea and really hope that my A.I. come C.I. (Collective Intelligence) Semantic Web experience improves very soon. Just remember to tell your PDA you are going off profile.

Well after a technology deficient trip to New York, cell phone goes down and internet connections were few and far between and VERY slow, I made it back to the house and to bed at 3AM EST - Midnight per my nightstand clock. I awoke gathered my things and headed into downtown. This is my first class at PSU and I think it went well. We had 14 people on the roles and we rolled through a morning of statistics and information about the changes in the web.

I dashed off at lunch to be at a meeting over at the Art Institute of Portland with the other folks who are putting together a revitalized Creative Conference and found out we are a GO! I said my good byes early and made my way back to PSU.

In the afternoon we covered Blogging, Podcasting, and Vlogging when I went over some of the tools we dropped onto Seesmic and posted a video and recived a number of responses.

I closed with presenting a breif overview of my N.I.M.B.L.E. (Navigating Media Beyond Linier Experiences). The traditional linear video consumption patterns are starting to change. We are already see the Internet changing the way that media is being watched. Short format and user generated content is growing in views into the realm of tradition TV. The numbers that a successful viral video garner are in the millions and the Neilsons metrics don’t quite translate to this new model. These initial changes are starting to push the habits, especially among the younger demographic, into new patterns that make the next phase of evolution a more palatable experience. This new consumption pattern moves beyond the traditional linear viewing experience and into a non-linear viewing experience. Think of video consumption more like the way we consume blogs or other multi-threaded mediums like forums. — More on this coming soon….

I will post up the links and some glossery terms here over the next few days and will be building out a microsite for this information.
