USER AND CONTENT
One of the main issues that Richard discussed in the lecture and seminar is the changing relationship between the user and the content. The new user experience is one of a CONTENT that exists within a CONTEXT to suit them. Audiences are no longer waiting for information to be broadcast to them through ITV but Sky+ ing it and then watching it at a time that suits them. Similarly users are downloading episodes of Lost and watching them on their ipods, phones or PDAs during the morning commute to work. Information is no longer 'pushed' unwantedly onto the user at an inappropriate time, but insead is being 'pulled' from RSS blog and news feeds when and where they want it.
FIND SHARE PLAY TALK RECOMMEND
Another main issue raised in the lecture was the development of the web as a platform for user driven content and not simply a broadcasting channel. This has allowed for self organizing communities to grow on the net such as flickr.com in which users upload photographs to share, discuss and recommend to others.
