The Internet Jesus Initiated Social Movement
Posted by Viralink Industries on January 19, 2009 at 9:38pm
I was under the impression that Internet Jesus was blending metacommunity engineering, kaos majiks, content feedback loops, and the trends of the modern mashup0matic web2.0 to initiate the creation of a new kind of subculture.
Am I in the wrong place or what?

- I think you are thinking of Irreality circa 2006?

- ick,
- hopefully less like a soft palmed grad student and more like a steel worker

- Yes, I think so. In order to be in a meta community, you have to be involved in the community. He rarely comments here (though I don't know how often/if/when he stops by). From what I've observed, he keeps things very separated, in terms of projects. This might be/is a separate project, so it will probably be a separate community.

- So then if we create something here we'd be giving him sociocultural feedback for this well parceled test group?

- I totally figured out what we should do.
- It's so obvious.

- OK, I'll bite: what have you totally figured out is the obvious thing that we should do?

- Well this is havenside, so we need to do 5-10 minute audio recordings of news podcasts from the streets. Obviously.

- Yeah, it can be slow.

- Well, what are you hoping to accomplish, that's the question. I mean, given that almost no one would find and explore this page without first reading Doktor Sleepless, an indie book in a medium that already has a pretty small readership, the forum is slow because the forum is small. You want something big - do something big and hope people respond enough to come here and join us.
- These forums aren't good enough as they are? Make 'em change!

- OR expect users to use these newfangled feed things to keep updated. It only takes 5 users to make a community.
- Also: I'm no salesman so I don't have to submit a business plan.

- Is this a "Law of Fives" thing? Why not two or three?
- Mwhahahahahahahahaha!
- Fnord.

- I was not intimating that you need to submit a business plan for my or anyone else's approval, merely questioning what it is you were looking for, exactly. You seemed to wish that we would all do something different with the place than we have - I was suggesting that it is probably more efficient to bring change about than merely to hope it happens.

- I found a project kinda like what i'm thinking.
- We should make submissions from the 'streets in havenside'. Things we saw people doing with masks, wacky things people do to their bodies, you know... the shit we see every day.
- We should do this. It'll take like 10 people to do it well.
- be fun!

- A query. Hotlinking to thedarke. is probably not on Warrens list of "things I'd like to see" otherwise, he'd have openly advertised it, rather than keeping it viral. I take it we wouldn't be advised, or supported in heavy handed attempts to garner attention here?

- Clarify, not submissions TO this project.
- It's obvious now, http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/seeing-the-future-in-nprs-... , that the future of news media is in independent contractor reporters doing their own stories and adding them to a repository. Then outlets choose what peices they want to use in their daily, hourly, whatever, feed; which is what this crew is doing kinda. What THEY are doing is an example of what a group on the infrastructure system might do, programming hour long shows from the pool.
- By the tagged submission of 5-10 minute long audio investigative journalist bits users can parse over it according to desire.
- "Computer! I wish to have an hour long news show today, biotech news only, last week submissions only, corp news only, focus on energy sources for implants. 4 star reporters or better."
- So if that's the future, than to do a 'future, today' version from inside havenside that infrastructure would have to be at least mocked up.
- eh? EH?

- Also, when i see something around me that inspires a fictional event I think I want to tag that location with a QR code link to the fictional entry for that place.
- yesss.....
- qr codes can be lifted from the backdrop in a comic book right?

- qr codes can be lifted from the backdrop in a comic book right?
- i don't think so..
Reply by Mark Fox on February 2, 2009 at 7:10pm
- No. My comment was merely a query regarding the increase of a base of Darke.ning users, so to better facilitate such programmes.

- Customised news podcasts (in general) are a pretty cool idea.
- But why would a 24+ hr response time be an issue for audio fanfic?
Reply by Lord Shaper on August 12, 2009 at 8:13am
- It all depends on how long you want to put into the editing... I've fallen behind with the Welcome to Heavenside show but one 40 minutes show has taken up to 6 hours to edit.
