Creative Commons Conference Call

More than a bit late on this post, but I had the good fortune to sit in on a conference call Monday that Creative Commons hosted. James Boyle and Joi Ito provided updates on challenges, opportunities, and upcoming activities for CC. It was a great way for them to reach out to the CC community, […]

A History and Future of Collaborative Storytelling

This is my (un)scientific, (non-)comprehensive, and (not at all) objective overview of the rise of collaborative storytelling: how we (more or less) got here, and where we may (kinda sorta) be heading. No particular axe to grind or agenda to sell, just my observations after watching this space for a few years. Buckle up, this […]
