Yes :) The ease of creating content, and the difficulty and cost in creating context, is why many industries are being shaken up, and why the real economic opportunities are for curators. When we change how and why we create content, then we have to look at how we've reshaped the value of context and how curation works effectively.

I've spent some time digging into new economic realities in photography, and it's why your post here resonated with me so strongly. For reminding me of my love for this topic, thank you.

and btw, I go back to Kevin's "better than free" post regularly :)

Which means the role of curators increases in importance.

Curators, mashups, paywalls, best of collections, velvet ropes, schools of thought, rules of engagement, ….
The social is us, don’t hand it off to another gate keeper.

The reason language is not static is because it is social. The reason languages die off is because we don’t renew them. Life is a river and the pools under the silent wisteria are stagnant if they find no exit.

For a minute I thought there was a chink of insightful light. What? BT presenting an opportunity for people to access and share some heritage?

No, not that. It was the same old corporate dumb thing. Arriving at the famously horrible website one is greeted with a money basket and sample photos replete with emblazoned prohibition. £8 for a hi-rez digital copy. Paywall tomfoolery indeed! Another opportunity lost for a corporate monolith to earn some kudos.

JP, the people responsible might take a leaf from your book. You’re clearly up to speed. Like its sluggish broadband BT appears not to be. In a previous incarnation it was an organisation with a social culture. That got dumped with all the commercialising euphoria of the last twenty years. It would do well now to remember who it was and ask some intelligent questions about who it is going to be in the future.

I'm always impressed by coincidence, and your post and this post:

should know about each other
