On the subject of Media and Material Culture colliding in digital, let me say in my own world we are recording to digital in most audio and digital projects and we are distributing in digital. This is having serious profound impact on the nature of products and services which seem to be the modern economic model.

This is where I get excited. I found this video in a Barbie Doll aggregation feed that we pulled. (Thanks Vijith !) The video on YouTube depicts two six year olds, one filming and one showing off his tricks around a Rubic’s Cube. What is amazing is that these two kids have GLOBAL DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION. That is revolutionary and the impact is total. What can be the same.

There is a confluence of data happening. Why ? Simple. There is a general convergence overall happening. I trace it back to digital. As a Media it is so interesting because it jumps formats easily and has become a ubiquitous tool for hardware and software. From HD Quality to GPS, the internet, and mobile wireless the new frontier looks unlike anything outside of science fiction.

The fact that we aggregated this video from two six year old syndicators, might I add (free syndication from Google) is reason to look at social media sector differently. Will it be a world syndicated by Hearst Publishing and YouTube ? The answer will lie in the economic model of developing internet communities.
