If there is a dominant, unspoken theme from the chat, it is that social media’s evolution will incorporate more and more elements of gaming.
Take “Pac-Man” – anyone that played that videogame understands the concept of a “power-up”.
In my opinion, understanding videogame design is critical in managing the other issues raised last night, from “moderation on blogs” to defining what an “influencer” is, and more. These issues are all moving targets, shaped less by our privacy concerns than by a desire to somehow “beat the system”.
Accordingly, the newsroom of tomorrow will be shaped less by the niceties of yesteryear and will look more like today’s crazed fantasy football gamer who follows @ffootball as a shortcut for scouring the blogosphere, looking for the tidbits that will help them get a leg up on their competition.
The simple reality is that we are seeing the collision of pop culture and tech, and that future technology may well be produced just as videogames are today. Many concepts will fail, but some will succeed, and even fewer will find a studio model that enables some groups (”secret societies” or otherwise) to find ways to reduce the risk of incubating and commercializing new services.
While Lloyd Braun once tried to lead Yahoo using this model, you can see the studio model at work today at Rosenblatt’s Demand Media.
Awesome stuff, Sarah!
