How might the concept of produsage be applied to your life (personal and professional) as it stands today? Are you already a produser? If yes, what do you do? If no, why not?
Right now, the extent of produsage in my life is Facebook and The Knot. On Facebook, me and my "Facebook friends" will build upon each others comments to learn about anything from weekend plans, to cooking tips, to traveling advice. The Knot hosts chats about, of course, wedding planning! Since I am attempting to learn to cook, thinking about honeymoon destinations, and planning a wedding, all of these apply to my personal life.
Since I participate by contributing information, I do consider myself to be a produser. However, I am interested in learning even more about produsage and additional ways it can benefit me personally and professionally. Although I have checked out Twitter on a surface level, I am seriously considering using Twitter for my produsage assignment. It will be interesting to learn more about it and to see how it can be used as a learning environment.
Ashleigh - like you, my produsage - a very new term for me - in my personal life is limited to Facebook and Twitter at this juncture. I consider myself more of a user, although posts and uploading files could be considered production. Interested in what others in the cohort are saying on this.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I would definitely say that posts and uploaded files are production, but there are different levels of production...and of course there are varying levels of quality.
