[|Rainbow Family Tree]This is a space (and social networking experiment) that I set up for Queer Digital Storytellers and their families/supporters. Most storytellers were activists - interested in making stories that confronted mainstream assumptions around gender and sexuality. Some of their stories have been compiled as an educational DVD with facilitators guide for use in classrooms and training... and I'm undertaking a PHD on 'Digital Storytelling and Social Change'... I look forward to getting more involved in Web 2.0 storytelling with other members of the Rainbow Family Tree community ; ) posted by sonjavi

[|A Timely Raven: a serial of meditating a murder], written by Amber Simmons, is a sprawling, multimedia, interactive web story that explores different ways to incorporate social media and web apps into traditional storytelling. //I just checked this out, it is amazing! The weaving of media and multiple voices is great, but it has just plain good storytelling in text!// 1226595004

It looks like EDUCAUSE is running an ARG story for their January 2009 ELI Conference- Save Professor Bluth?? http://www.savebluth.com/ Yeah that looks interesting, but c'mon, an ARG does not post up a big neon sign that says I AM AN ARG! They are more subtly inserted into the media stream, and leaves question to if it is real or not. They did not even bother to disguise the whois registeration record for the domain (me grumbling cause I want to create an ARG 1226586557)

[|Magnum in Motion] is a website that contains powerful photoessays from around the world and from the past and present. There is a blog where discussion about the essays takes place. I don't see any option for using or embedding their content, so maybe just Web 1.5.


 * Writing memoirs**

Under the banner of The Loose-Fish project, I write adaptations of classic literature in Web 2.0 forms:
 * [|The Loose-Fish Project]**

[|Loose-Fish #1: The Good Captain] is a sci-fi adaptation of Herman Melville's novella "[|Benito Cereno]," written for and told via Twitter. [|Loose-Fish #2: The Spoon River Metblog] is a modernized retelling of the narrative poetry serial [|Spoon River Anthology], by E.L. Masters. The [|Metroblogging] syndicate, a network of over 50 city-specific group blogs, built for me a fictional city site that acts as the platform for the story.


 * 1) 3 will be a contemporary version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice using Facebook and other social networking sites. Future projects will include adaptations of Dracula and Moby-Dick.

I've also been struggling with terminology, and have gone through Net-Native Narrative, Transmedia Literature and Embedded Storytelling. The current label I'm trying out is Ambient Fiction - I like how it emphasizes that the fictional content exists in an online space side-by-side and intermixed with non-fictional material. --[|Jay Bushman]

Tony Hirst shared this link to some interesting visualization of media by [|D-PAN (Deaf Performing Artists Network)] who "...create[s] media designed specifically to serve deaf audiences through the use of American Sign Language (ASL)." 1227367387 It is not strictly we-based storytelling (or is it) but represents an interesting way to present information http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2008/11/beautiful-example-of-the-visualization-of-a-story.html media type="custom" key="2739763"

This all reminds me of Voicethread, which I first found out about on Cogdogblog. It captures, and I think enhances and facilitates writing and creativity. [|www.VoiceThread.com]. Very clever and nice guy running it, Steve Muth I'm a psychtherapist with a blog collecting childhood memories and am tinkering with how I can incorporate VoiceThread in to the procesess. This mutimedia interactive process makes it something more meaningful than just looking at pictures and reading a memory; although that alone is the wonder of story telling.
