Joga Bonito Storify
gusbruggeman:
Interesting presentation. This all started with a Nike ad campaign, right? How has the role of commercialism shifted as it’s become a broader, perhaps less corporation-led phenomenon?

The pattern of people who identify as not social media users frequenting these forums is really interesting to me. What is it about this community or site that creates this exception?
The Office Storify
dkirkhoff:
Do you think this online community’s alignment with these principles of a “community of practice” help it be or do anything in particular? In the book that outlines these principles, what’s the goal?

This community sounds much more directly back-and-forth/conversational than some of those covered by other...
All-Access Mom Storify →
At the end of the video, one blogger says something like, “As a mom,” she finds the potato-to-fry process deeply comforting. What does this campaign say about what it means to be a “mom”? What kind of mother is included here? (I find the whole thing to be totally alien, so probably not me …)

Can you tell much about the demographics of these sites’ users? Are different sorts of people frequenting the two forums you described?

Etsy Storify
erinnk:
Your presentation, and just thinking about Etsy in this context, kept making me think about Rachel Botsman’s ideas about reputation and trust online—given the importance of customer feedback for helping an individual ‘shop’ seem like a safe place to send one’s money. (Also, the Literacyhead aside was really interesting.)
The Sing Off →
andersdh88:
Beyond all the Twitter promotion and supplementary conversations, it sounds like a lot of the selection and voting processes happen online as well. What might The Sing-Off look like without the internet?
Sabermetrics Storify
lampert19:
Sort this sort & specificity of statistical analysis and modeling happen in other sports? Why is baseball especially inviting to statisticians and this sort of nerdy online community?

Hope it works!
You’re obviously passionate about this topic. Do you have any ideas about how social media could be used most effectively (and by whom) to reach various relevant audiences (who?)?
Nick Denn: Tiger Woods →
denn111:
Did you look into archives to see how the conversation was different earlier in Woods’ career (as a golfer and as a celebrity)? I wonder how much social media was involved and how much we’d need to look to more ‘traditional’ media sources. Anyway, I’m curious about how Woods’ career and the simultaneous rise of social media have interacted over the...
Storify Presentation
coltonlenz:
Do these feeds and forums involve a lot of linking within the community, amongst various social media sites? I noticed links from Twitter to forums, forums to YouTube channels, and so forth. Where’s the main content here, amongst all these links/redirects?

Here’s my Storify presentation on The Office!
Your comments on the various ways this site’s activities and information bleed into other spaces—Twitter, local groups, even meetups and collaborative creative efforts—were fascinating. I had no idea!
