Creation by the Masses
Jaffe Juice (via Clickz) talks about a recent effort over at Bolt that resulted in the creation of “Consumer Generated Music” in which members voted on every aspect of the song’s creation. The song will be distributed, at first, via social networks such as Facebook and MySpace.
This is a great example of consumer generated content, but its not the first time (ok, maybe for a consumer generated song). I’ve heard tell of podcasters, fiction writers and website creators using collaborative methods (i.e., wikis, blogs, etc) to create content. Granted, its not the large-scale that the Bolt song is, but it just shows that collaborative creation is happening in big and small ways.
