Modes

Modes of networked communication, not all orthogonal:

  • Text (website,blog,wiki,email,groups)
  • Audio (podcast,streaming)
  • Video (standalone,embedded,remix)
  • Multimedia (games,on-site editing, collaborative editing)
  • Connection (social or business networking; Friendster,MySpace,LinkedIn)
  • Mashup (e.g. Google+Craigslist Housing Map)
  • Search
  • Mobile
  • Advertising

e.g., look at the "rich media" additions to the Amazon page for a book or CD. What works, what doesn't? Why has Amazon put them all there?

  • One-click purchase
  • Tags
  • Reviews (pro and amateur)
  • Collaborative filtering
  • A9 walk down the block
  • Preview (look/search inside the book)
  • Lists
  • Amapedia
