Firstly your going to need a gig or concert where there's gonna be lots of people who want to mosh. When a venue is established your going to have to make sure you're properly equipped for the pit.

Moshing comes in many forms.I will firstly examin the bodyslam . The bodyslam is done by launching yourself into the air by jumping ( so can be used in combination with pogoing easily ) and making physical contact with another mosher using the upper part of your body.

It occurs when bands usually of the rock, punk and metal genres play in a live setting.

At these gigs, members of the crowd will gather at the front and will furiously and passionately shove/ push/ body slam each other in time to the music. But the idea is not to cause any harm to each other( even though that's usually the case ) but just to enjoy the music in a less passive way

In Web 3.0, no humans required

If you think of the World Wide Web as a cloud of largely undifferentiated information, the mission of the company he's about to unveil, Radar Networks, is to take that cloud and impose order on it. Not just any order, but a very special kind known to experts by one of the hottest buzzwords in computer science today: the semantic Web.

To take the Web to the next level -- to move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 -- the information in those documents will have to be turned into data that a machine can read and evaluate on its own. Only then will computers be able to take over tasks we now do by hand: find the nearest restaurant, book the best flight, buy the cheapest CD.

The Web just isn't very smart yet; one webpage is the same as any other. It might have a higher Google ranking, but there's no distinction based on meaning.

Being able to connect those properties in seen and unseen ways is what gives the semantic Web its power.

Travel 2.0 & User Generated Content

In 2006 Tourism British Columbia expanded the number of internal bloggers by asking the staff of their over 110 Visitor Centres all over British Columbia to join in.

This year the next logical step was extendind the scope of writers on HelloBC.com to residents and past travelers. Users are asked to share their BC Great Finds. These tips are posted as regular blog entries. But every entry is also categorized with a location and an activity.

Is there a return on investment?

The main value is content. User generated content alongside the official information is a valuable way to add credibility and insider information and tips.

“Forget the site. Sack the designers. Don’t fight to get people to your home page. Concentrate on getting your stories out where people can find them.”

As more and more real people discover the Daily Me possibilities of RSS, tag searches et al, the more they will demand and create their own ways of cutting up and mashing up stories. The smart players will help them.

Anyone in the communications business needs to embrace the idea that people are creating their own media, not just in terms of UGC (User Generated Content) but also UGA (User Generated Architecture). They may well be still keen to read your stories but it will be a manner of their own choosing, through their software/interface of choice and next to other stories of their choice.

improve your RSS feeds, your mobile access, your tagging capabilities. Expect and encourage people to come in through the backdoor, the windows and the cat(egory) flap.

Nokia commissioned report from the London School of Economics gives valuable insights into the impact of mobility on television

The report predicts that the introduction and adoption of mobile TV will ultimately give way to a more personal and private TV experience than that of traditional broadcast TV, with big implications for users, content providers and advertisers.

On mobile TV, advertisers will be able to pinpoint their messages to users according to very specific levels not possible with traditional TV and at success rates higher than those of the Internet.

Much shorter and more concise news bulletins
User interactivity in the plots of reality TV shows and game shows
Growing importance of user-generated content
New distribution formats: in China, for instance, the movie Kung Fu Hustle was made into ten segments for mobile TV

Mobile TV as a technology has been the buzz word of 2006

"Mobile TV will become a multimedia experience with an emphasis on personalisation, interactivity and user-generated content," with the current trend of user generated content, as seen by the phenomenal growth of YouTube, being a key feature.

the plethora of programmes on Digital TV

is already fragmented. With 1000 channels to choose from, you don't watch TV, you surf.

you don't have time to go for in-depth, you just want to dip in, take all your attention away from your surroundings, then dip out again.

my money's on YouTube being the dominant player in the mobile TV market in the years to come.

The Web 2.0 Customer(s)

October 30, 2005

You can break down Web 2.0 customers into a fuzzy hierarchy:

Creators who create an “original” work. Examples include a reporter at the New York Times, a podcaster, a blogger who is writing original content, or the author of Harry Potter.
Linkers who annotate the work of Creators. Examples include a blogger who mostly links to other content or a del.icio.us user who publishes the RSS feed of his bookmarks.
Commenters who comment on the Creator’s and Linker’s work. Examples include anyone who writes a comment on a blog.
Surfers who consume the output of Creators, Linkers, and Commenters. Anytime you read someone’s blog, you are a Surfer.

The levels in the pyramid represent phases of value creation. As an example take Yahoo! Groups.

1% of the user population might start a group (or a thread within a group)
10% of the user population might participate actively, and actually author content whether starting a thread or responding to a thread-in-progress
100% of the user population benefits from the activities of the above groups (lurkers)

Even for Wikipedia (the gold standard of the genre) half of all edits are made by just 2.5% of all users.

Leveraging User-Generated Content
Marketers Must Find Ways To Let Customers Help Drive The Brand
by Brian Haven
with Charlene Li, Tenley McHarg

This is a document excerptEXECUTIVE SUMMARY

User-generated content (UGC) is a hot topic in the press. With more than one-quarter of online consumers submitting a rating or review of a product or service or contributing to a discussion board, the fact that consumers are turning to each other is not just a fad any more. A few forward-thinking brands are beginning to use UGC to engage with customers. To overcome initial fears, companies need to realize that successfully opening up to customers isn't that different from the risks associated with doing business every day. To determine the appropriate UGC strategy, companies must observe where UGC about their brands lives today, continually track conversations in UGC, and participate in existing communities before deciding if this is an activity that they should enable on their own sites.

Participative Web: User-Created Content

web services that empower the user to contribute to developing, rating, collaborating on and distributing Internet content and customising Internet applications.

As the Internet is more embedded in people’s lives “users” draw on new Internet applications to express themselves through “user-created content” (UCC).

Questions addressed include: What is user-created content? What are its key drivers, its scope and different forms? What are new value chains and business models? What are the extent and form of social, cultural and economic opportunities and impacts? What are associated challenges? Is there a government role and what form could it take?
