Directed, Playful, or Both?

1. Open Participation : anyone is able to participate.

2. Mass Production : contents are seen as produced through mass, collaborative effort

3. Consumer = Producer : the producer of the content is usually also the consumer.

There are various online platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, MySpace or Twitter which share the above characteristics. I find these platforms often bundled into one category as [oreilly]web 2.0[/oreilly] or Collaborative Frameworks, but in this knowledge object I’d like to further divide these into three models: the Playground model, the Directed Experiments model and the Playground hosting Directed Experiments model to better analyze their process of content generation. Below is the diagram of the models compiled with my colleague Cesar Harada for the Open_Sailing presentation we gave at the Barbican Gallery on the 27th August, 2009.
