Yahoo gets it ...

I just joined Yahoo!360 . This is Yahoo's first attempt at creating an environment where individuals can contribute to the content on the internet. It is not perfect, but it is a start. The future of content will come from the many rather than the few. The only question is how ...

I wrote in my blog a week or so ago about movie theaters. They will disappear. Of course I went with my wife on a "date night" on Friday. And it was a great time. But I watch far more movies at home or on the road or in airplanes than I do at the theaters. So the end is not here yet. But with things like Yahoo!360, we are starting to see ways that will allow individuals to truly Participate. To truly Share. You can blog. You can add pictures. You can post a blast. This is just the beginning.!

I am very excited to see what comes next ... Will we see far easier ways to contribute other types of content? Will there be ways to contribute video content? Assemble snipets into something more? Or will the future of video be high quality animation?

Participate. Share.

So what's new about this again? I thought the whole point of the internet was that people could add stuff to it, right from day one. Looks like one of those Boom 2.0 things, where "this is a great idea, assuming you've never seen an idea before".

Nothing new about it - just more mainstream. When you see Yahoo or Google doing it, it has made it to mass adoption. What was new about Windows 3.x - nothing. Apple was WAY ahead. But who cares. What was new about sharing files or printers when Unix did it - nothing. But Microsoft made a huge deal of it when they finally put it in WIndows. Sorry, a bit fixated on Microsoft, but they are the monopoly on the desktop, so when it gets into Windows, it is everywhere:)
