Whilst writing this post on conversations I came across a reference to collaborative projects for photos and videos that use sites such as Flickr and YouTube to coordinate joint effort. An example given was Pool, the user‐ generated content site operated by the Australian public broadcaster ABC. This provides its own platforms for collaborative multimedia work.

I did not know about the Pool prior to stumbling onto it.The ABC says:

ABC Pool is a social media space that brings together ABC professionals and audiences in an open-ended process of participation, co-creation and collaboration. It’s a place to share and talk about creative work - music, photos, videos, documentaries, interviews, animations and more.The project is using open rights frameworks to explore this new territory with our research, community and education partners. We’re conducting research in action at the intersection of broadcast and participatory media.

Alex Bruns says:

produsage is rapidly establishing itself as the standard mode of organisation for community‐driven, collaborative content creation online; produsage communities are building significant new creative and informational resources and in doing so are beginning to challenge the established industries in their fields.
