Week 2
How might the concept of produsage
be applied in your life (personal and/or professional) as it stands today? Are
you already a produser? If yes, what do you do? If no, why not?The term Produsage refers to Produce + Usage in collaborative knowledge context.
Well, it is not easy to say that I am a kind of producer in a certain area.
Although I am a heavy user in social media, I am just a consumer, I think.
But,
In my retrospect, I was a kind of producer in two area.
First, when I was a middle school kid, I made a personal website about an online game.
Yes, I was an online game user as well as a game fan page master.
My fan page was enrolled in Yahoo search, so a lot of gamers visited my fan page.
I remember that the total visitors in my fan page was approximately 100,000.
At that time, I used Dreamweaver to develop my webpage.
My fan page had various contents including discussion boards.
Second,I wanted to be an amateur Hiphop musician.
So I signed up Millim.com (Now its service is not available)
But I found its old screenshot.
Millim.com was a kind of user-led music creation & sharing website.
I used my nickname 'Lyricist'. and I uploaded my self-made music to Millim.com
Millim users can listen to my music, and I can listen to other's music.
Some famous Millim users became real major musician in Korean Hiphop now.
(Yes! I am a big fan of Korean Hiphop for 16years!)
Unfortunately, those two things mentioned above are now unavailable.
Currently, I am definitely a consumer in all Internet areas.
Why? I think that I am currently passive.
Actually I want to be a producer in my personal as well as professional areas.
However, I have no energy to be a producer.. now I am satisfied being a consumer.
How can I be a producer?
The answer will be making a personal learning network, and then collecting, sharing, re-generating something..
Tang,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you were an online web game developer even in middle school, and yet I do believe it! That is pretty impressive, and 100,000 fans- wow! Don't you think the mobile learning tool that you're working on now makes you a produser?
Erin, I was not a developer of an online web game!
DeleteI was just a web-master of my personal game fan page!
I made a website by Dreamweaver, then register my website on Yahoo.com!
Many game players and visitors visited my website, yes, more than 100,000!

And, I can be a produser when I release my mobile app work to others!
