Micro-communities: Consume Better Content Faster! at #sxsw (voting time)
Tags :SXSW micro-community
I am happy to be back on the panel picker again this year for SXSW. This time it is for a session titled Micro-communities: Consume Better Content Faster, I first wrote about this back in late 2008 and have expanded more over the years, and maybe I was ahead of the curve saying this would be the way to consume information. Here is the abstract: for SXSW 2012 that I need your vote on:
Content is being created at incredible rates across multiple networks. You have the drive and need to be part of all of them, but it begins to erode your productivity. How do you filter the content down into consumable pieces? Micro-communities! We are constantly adding new RSS feeds, streams and sources for our own consumption. Soon we file virtual bankruptcy and start over, leaving behind the sources we trusted. What we do not learn is the value that drew those sources to us in the first place. Learn how to use smarter filtering, tools and resources to streamline, remove duplication and find the most important information across the networks. Understand how to begin the process of building your own micro-communities through minimal steps. We will look at various social networks, like Google Plus, Twitter, advanced RSS readers and where to start in curating groups, lists, etc. "Mark all as read" is not a successful filter, micro-communities solve this.
SXSW also requires you make a list and answer some specific questions. I thought hard to make the five general enough to encompass the whole idea and planning, but just direct enough to give you the tips you need:
1. What is a micro-community?
2. Can I build one in any social network?
3. How much content can I consume when using micro-communities?
4. Is a group or list the same as a micro-community?
5. How can I build my micro-communities to avoid overlap?
So what I need from you is a vote to help get this one considered. You can vote on the Panel Picker site. Even if you are not going, I will be making this available so please add a vote!
