Nice little piece by Cory Doctorow in the Guardian on parsing media and its use.
What’s left behind at each turn isn’t less, but more: the stories we tell on the stage today are there not because they must be, but because they’re better suited to the stage than they are to any other platform we know about.

Nicknamed ‘Blog Muse,’ it solicits suggestions from a pool of prospective readers, proposes them to potential writers, alerts readers upon publication of the requested post, and encourages comment. Topic ideas can go viral and build audience interest ahead of publication, as prospective readers can see which suggested topics are the most popular. The tool can also generate topic suggestions automatically.
The cynic in me is having a party; “IBM is now gonna tell us what to blog?” However I can see the practicality of “Blog Muse”, especially if you’re taking a marketing view on the purpose of a blog. The idea of crowdsourcing for blog topics to write… Continue reading: IBM’s Blog Muse
