Over at Citizen Media Watch, Lotta Holmström and Gitta Willén keep publishing great articles based on some of the most interesting material from SIME. Check out their interview with Joi Ito on wether we’ll see a dark period for journalism, their article about music, honesty and Youtube featuring Mia Rose and the latest discussion about microblogging, journalism and Facebook status updates.
Based on a question I asked Net Jacobsson of Facebook on stage at SIME08, they pose the question on how we can or should define microblogging, and if Facebook is not only the world’s biggest photo sharing site like Net claimed, but also the world’s biggest microblogging service.
But since Facebook status updates are not accessible outside Facebook, the updates behave less like the political arena that for example twitter has become.
Read on at Citizen Media Watch for two great posts discussing what microblogs mean today and their relationship to journalism.
Take a moment to look through the video material from SIME created by Urban Lifestyle Report. Re-live some of the interesting moments from the stage, or look at new content like the interview below with David Sifry in a cab. All the material can be found here.
We’re just uploaded a new batch of photos from SIME08, by photographer Chris Robertsson. You’ll find them in this set at flickr, and they’re all released under a Creative Commons license. Here are some gems from the set:
