Web 2.0 – Paradigm Shift 2 Way Web Architecture of Participation Collective Wisdom Rich User Experience

Architecture of Participation 1. Pay people to participate 2. Motivate volunteers to participate 3. Users contribute as a side-effect of ordinary use Build Systems That Get Better the More People Use Them

Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki Why the Many Can Be Smarter than the Few Collective Wisdom A group of independent thinkers can be smarter than the smartest person in the group. Draws on a diverse set of information sources and opinions Looks outside their norm (we tend to surround ourselves with people we agree with)

Amazon & Netflix Science of user engagement Invitation to participate on virtually every page Harnesses the power of the users Built in ethic of cooperation – win/win

the Curated web

Rich User Experience Multi-sensory – Sight – Sound – Touch Truly Interactive – Emergent user behavior – Not predetermined – Non-linear Collaborative Mental Stimulation Dimensions – Emotionally, Intellectually, Socially, Spiritually Satisfying

Muse Web Foundation Principles The original work of art is primary The physical work of art is sacred Nothing is better than being in the presence of the actual work of art.

Web 2.0 Principle: Harness the Power of Collective Intelligence Trust your users Users Add Layers of Value Applications that learn from user behavior Users contribute as a side-effect of ordinary use Software gets better the more people use it Emergent user behavior not predetermined

Layers of Meaning Artist’s ideas, emotions, interpretations Curators interpretations Historical Context the Curated web Viewer’s experience – Interpretation – Ideas – Emotions – Connection Transformation – “aha! moment” the Personal web

Art 2.0 Goals Ignites Personal Interest Triggers Exploration and Discovery User behavior is non-linear and emergent (not predetermined) User is unaware of fatigue / unaware of passage of time Meaningful Personal Connection - Aha! Moments Emotionally, Intellectually, Socially, Spiritually Satisfying User desires to share personal meaning & discoveries w/ others Users add layer(s) of valuable information to system System becomes richer the more people use it

My Experience at the Blanton My opinion is important I complete the art I can become part of the art I become an artist The experience forever transforms me
