Here is a post from an online marketing blog describing a “user generated content” site that is touting itself as the “PBS of the web” — you can read their press release here.
Here is a quote from the website:
The Digital Universe is an intuitively organized, multimedia Web that will inform, educate, engage and involve people worldwide. The mission is to realize the Internet’s potential as an open, non-commercial medium that inspires creativity, communication, collaboration and education.
The site is owned my ManyOne Networks, and it describes itself as:
ManyOne is a vehicle for people and organizations to collaborate in the
creation of a new, socially responsible information medium. ManyOne and its
partners are pioneering new ways for people to learn about our world and
universe, communicate, work and trade with each other and experience each
others’ talents.
I’ll be checking it out and I’ll report back soon. You guys should check it out too and let me know what you think.
If you have any questions let me know. Here is a link to a fairly detailed bit of information — http://www.websage.org/pmo/?p=84 on the Digital Universe and ManyOne. The writings on this blog seem to match a general philosophical tone that is one of the key tenants for this project.
Thanks for your comment John. I will check out your link and let you know when I have questions!
