Further Reading on O’Reillys meme theory.

How’s everyone finding working their way through their readers?

I’m currently mid learning my 45 sec speech to upload to You Tube but have a very temperamental internet connection working against me! Being saved by having my Readers pre-saved! Am doing some extra reading on Tim O’Reilly, I am finding his meme diagram very interesting.

Copy of the Diagram for anyone who would like to see!

Just wondering what you think about his theories behind how blogs have transformed text from published to participatory. Although his meme does introduce the idea of representing a phenomenon by learning to change your attitude to trust your reader, I am querying one specific ‘coloured bubble’. The concept of software that gets better as people use it seems simple and effective but could this actually be a downfall? It came to me that potentially the idea is destined to fail should people simply decide for legitimate reasons, not to view their opinions gradually due to social economic changes and trends, no opinions being aired resulting to the effectively of the principle coming to a complete standstill. Is there a safe sured guarantee people will endeavour to keep sharing their views of will the idea of Web 2.0 technologies ‘urn out’ entirely, much ‘Playstations’ have to the flashy new ‘Nintendo Wii’ and the good old dial and phone brick of a mobile phone to the ‘Blackberry’ and ‘I - Phone’?

Many Thanks while I remember to Rosemary Mc Guiness too, on her post dated Feb 14^th, she has used a very similar style diagram, this ‘Thought shower’ or ‘Brain Storm’ with corresponding coloured bubbles design to clearly show all those questions that are posed by us, new students embarking on our work based learning. You can see how effectively and comprehensive the SIG formulae is. The noteworthy bit is that the questions in the same time zone are identified by the same colours. Thanks for that brilliant help Rosemary!
