Many-to-Many: A Group Blog on Social Software

Nancy White gets blogging

Long-time online community expert Nancy White has finally started her own weblog (did she hear my plea ?). The online community toolkit that she’s been building for years is chock-full of great material, which I suppose she’ll do us the pleasure of introducing bit by bit.

A recent post reports on an experiment I’d been meaning to try but had yet to find the right conditions for: having group of chat participants listen the same music while chatting - much as would happen at a party - as a means of creating a shared atmosphere and giving participants a better sense of togetherness. Apparently it turned out very well… I’ll really have to try it. Webjay could make it quite easy.

Cool — great to see Nancy enter the blogosphere!!! Shared music DEFINATELy creates an atmousephere and talking points — we saw that happening big-time at There. Some of the most powerful early member-created events were “Dj Request Parties” — someone would setup a streaming music channel (outside of the There client), tell everyone to tune in, and then ‘play DJ’ by taking requests in-world, and then playing that song in the streaming channel. VERY fun.
