How about some form of show(s) based on users/fans creating/contributing. Have people upload video communications. Incorporate video messages into shows, like one email and one video message at the end of Diggnation to respond to. Make a show that users vote on how the plot goes or let users submit concepts to be reviewed and chosen to do a season or their piece and have it distributed on Revision3.

You know I was just thinking the same thing as I was watching current_ on TV. A user submitted compilation show. There would a host to intro and outro all the clips:

Like, "Let's start things off with this short animation done by XXX from XX,CA using XXX technique" etc....

Could be like a 30-45 min weekly show. Would be pretty cool.

It could work too, but only if people don't waste their time with youtube fodder and OMG LOOK IM LIPSYNCING A MUSIC SONG WIF MY ISIGHT LOLOLOLOL crap. If the focus is on quality animation, short films, and edits, then helllll yeah. I'll be first in line to submit work. :)

I too would be very intrested in creating some content, or submiting someting I have already done. I think it would be a very good idea.

Of course not... it would have to be quality stuff like you'd see on the "Current" tv channel.

-that they haven't gone this way yet. I'm looking to produce a podcast and would love to be hosted by revision3. (it was the second place I looked after current.tv)

I'm working on some content I'd love to have considered. I have an anthropology degree specialized in cyberculture and a communications degree specialized in computer mediated communications. (And a general lifetime of being a giant nerd along with a few years of actually being comfortable with my geekdom.)

Cyberculture? No shit? We're like a culture now? Can you bust out with some
links to that stuff? I'd like to share it with my pals on the interweb.

Far as I know, cyberculture extends way back. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it probably could've been considered culture ever since the BBS days. Even further back if you want to include phone phreaking in there too. Check out Douglas Rushkoff- he's written a few good books on it...

I assume originx was being sarcastic.

There's some really entertaining ethnography of the old usenet flamewars, I'll see if I can rummage some up but I fear that my full access to the academic databases ended when I finished the degree.

Yeah, I know... n00b move on my part.. (blush) Hey NoxDineen, do you know if that old usenet stuff still accessible in any form? I remember posting to groups back in '97 (post flame wars) and recently searching some archive for the posts and not being able to find them. I remember reading something about the usenet archives being taken offline and there being an uproar in the newsgroup community about it. Do you know anything about this?

It should exist in some form somewhere, but I'm not sure how accessible it is at this point.

I'll email my rhetoric prof, he was super into online communication evolving in usenet.
