meMedia: Music Publishing

meMedia music. Watch for it. I think it exists to some extent already. Is there a site out there that allows you to create and share (publish) your own music?

Because I'm sure there are networks of digital music creators online, and I imagine they're already living this meMedia channel already, though it may be fractured along tool lines (the way some people like fireworks vs. photoshop vs. dreamweaver for site building).

Is there a blogger style app for music creation/editing/publishing?

 

meMedia: GUI Video Game Creation and Publishing

The next killer meMedia app that I hope to see in my lifetime (or create in my lifetime) is the GUI interface video game creation and publishing ASP app. This free service will provide the tools and engines for video game creation and publication.

The network of meMedia gamers will allow for anyone to create video games, just as blogger allows anyone to create blogs.

What GUI game development apps exist now? I want to know. Also I'm going to start a media outlet that focuses on and encourages the indie game development community as a means of seeding a group of adopters for this GUI app that's flexible and powerful enough to satisfy the experienced game developer and easy enough for the amateur to use.

This will allow the game developer with no programming skills to see his ideas built into reality and then played by his friends. And published and possibly widely adopted and loved by others in the GUI game development network.

I'm starting my game development media map today, and will link to it from the side of this blog.

 

meMedia: Video Blogging

Video blogging is the current meMedia trend. The meMedia blog is not the place to cover the emergence -- I'm going to start a video blogging blog, probably next weekend, to catalog and document what exists now. To map the current emergence.

 

meMedia: Video Blogging Tools

The next big advance in video blogging is the blogger style video editing and publishing app. This tool will be free and gui and allow anyone with reasonable skill to cut splice and edit their digital video that they shoot with their $50 digital video cameras.

Along these lines we'll see an emergence of lawsuits where the inner workings of major companies are revealed through cheap video blogs. We'll see a network of video blogs that people watch whenever they have time -- not at the times perscribed by the major industries. This will be a shift away from ad driven media to the personally driven media.

The video blogger is the next major media star. And the company that provides the digital video editing and publishing ASP app for free will be the next company that Google buys, much as they bought Blogger.

 

How meMedia Will Evolve

Watch for meMedia trends to evolve first along the lines of existing media. There's a coming emergence of video blogging, following the television programming trend. In this video blogging trend we will see the creation of entertainment and news networks on a more personal level. We'll see documentaries of how a certain individual slices potatoes. We'll see live footage from warzones that news reporters are unable to document. We'll see the advent of the 50$ digital video camera that allows people to document their lives.

And soon meMedia will begin pushing the major networks and driving them, and we'll watch major networks enter the meMedia video blogging sphere. It will have a different name by then.

 

meMedia: Blogs

The current online trend in meMedia is the blog. The blog tool allows the creation and dissemination of personal ideas, histories, and breaking news. The blog is an important piece of meMedia and the harbinger of more meMedia tools to come.

 

meMedia: Conversation

The original meMedia is the conversation. The original meMedia tool is language.

 

About meMedia

We're in the midst of the meMedia revolution. This is the era of media tools in the hands of the masses. With the evolution of these tools, such as blogs, we're going to see an increasing trend towards niche media outlets, and media empires resembling the multi channels provided by the cable companies.

The meMedia revolution is the media tool. Media tools ARE the new media revolution and allow the news to reach audiences who will become increasingly niche targeted.

How do advertisers reach this diversifying audience? Primarily they will reach this audience by creating tools that allow the creation of media. Even the creation of other tools.

In this blog I'll be documenting the development of meMedia, how it's moving, how it's fracturing and reassembling data along all new lines.

I welcome any ideas and inquiries: gfrench at gmail dot com.
