Get it Together: Input for the Summit
The first days of the digital revolution are over, after revolution comes further evolution and diversification. With the State of Social Media we investigate at which point we arrived since the early emergence of social media initiatives and where to go from here. The 28th and 29th of October 2010 we want to bring together 100 people all over the world at the State of Social Media Summit in Trouw Amsterdam. The invitation is open for everybody who is interested in meeting others, discuss about their vision on social media and play with new innovations…You!
Get it Together: input for the Summit
While organizing this summit we would like to hear your input about the issues and topics you come across in the social media landscape. Tell us your experiences and ideas as an innovative media entrepreneur, financial ‘supporter’ of the sector or employee at a cultural institution. In this way we select the content and form of the State of Social Media together
In search of hot topics
A discussion we had on the editorial staff meeting of last week gives an example. While selecting central themes for the summit we get entangled in a discussion: what is content and what is form of innovations in social media? For example the topics citizen journalism and e-participation; do they only differ in subject or do their forms require different criteria for innovations to deal with?
And there are so many other questions we want you to discuss. What about the future of the social media landscape? What has been the impact of small-scale Internet organizations on society? In which direction are they developing? Is the interaction between the three playing fields; society, governance and commerce getting closer? And therefore: what might be the future agenda to empower this movement?
Add your comment
This is just a start of the discussion we would like to start about the changes in the old media landscape of commercial and public service media. The challenges we are facing in the future and the agenda for meeting these challenges. We hope we can count on you joining this conversation by sharing your experiences. We keep you posted!

A topic which has my personal interest these days is the relationship of ’social media’ reality and ‘real’ reality. Perhaps social media poorly reflects physical reality. Which is interesting since LBS-services like Foursquare are making a strong connection to the physical. But perhaps this is just a personal fascination.

Hi Patrick, this is certainly very interesting. One of the now running projects in the 18th. round of Digitale Pioneers is currently experimenting with this, the Urbanode project, look at their project and video at http://www.digitalepioniers.nl/projecten/Urbanode/207. We thought it would be cool to experiment with an application for the Summit, so that all participants in Trouw can directly interact with the building (for example lighting and other displays). If you have ideas on how this application could look like, please share!

Hi there,
This summit looks interesting indeed! How about the topic social media and digital activism? How can we evaluate digital activism and what is the value within our global society? The publication ‘Digital Activism Decoded’could be a nice start.
Cheers,
Monique

Hi Monique, interesting topic and thanks for the reading tip. What would be the challenge here according to you? As everybody is able to have access to digital tools, everybody can be a digital activist or hacker nowadays… you don’t have to be very technical. Maybe the value of digital activism is in the attitude towards the world. Caring = sharing? What do you think.
