This domain is not (yet) registered, but to responsibilize is to change a function of an institution (e.g. a corporation or city) into a responsibility of its constituents. For example, if we all had to fight our own housefires we then would have been responsibilized.

ARToolKit is a software library for building Augmented Reality (AR) applications. These are applications that involve the overlay of virtual imagery on the real world. For example, in the image to the right a three-dimensional virtual character appears standing on a real card. It can be seen by the user in the head set display they are wearing. When the user moves the card, the virtual character moves with it and appears attached to the real object.

Defining the Journalism vs. Blogging Debate, with a Science Reporting angle
(1 clicks; 0 comments)
“Now we are getting to a place where being in the right place at the right time is not enough. Knowledge, expertise, and ability to find and parse through sources, becomes important. News are data. News analysis is information ’data made meaningful’. Breaking News and Reporting News just provide the raw data News Analysis connects the dots, places the new data-set into the context of other related data-sets, and provides historical, philosophical, theoretical, methodological, economic, political, sociological, etc, contexts. It also tries to answer the hardest of the canonical questions of journalism: Why?”

True/Slant Tests Another Model Of Web Journalism
(3 clicks; 0 comments)
"This week, a new Web news site is entering the fray, with a novel approach to journalistic entrepreneurship, new forms of advertising, and an effort to blend journalism and social networking.
The site, called True/Slant, at trueslant.com, is opening its doors via an odd preliminary status it calls an ?open alpha.? This means it?s rough around the edges, and not yet taking in revenue, but hopes to attract enough participation to hone its design and operation."

What if, instead of bluster and opaquely worded legal threats, Dean Singleton?s address had been a challenge to leverage the breadth and depth of the AP network and its member newsrooms to create something new and better, rather than merely a curse of the darkness? What would such a speech be like?

Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable ? Clay Shirky
(4 clicks; 0 comments)
"Revolutions create a curious inversion of perception. In ordinary times, people who do no more than describe the world around them are seen as pragmatists, while those who imagine fabulous alternative futures are viewed as radicals. The last couple of decades haven?t been ordinary, however. Inside the papers, the pragmatists were the ones simply looking out the window and noticing that the real world was increasingly resembling the unthinkable scenario. These people were treated as if they were barking mad. Meanwhile the people spinning visions of popular walled gardens and enthusiastic micropayment adoption, visions unsupported by reality, were regarded not as charlatans but saviors.
When reality is labeled unthinkable, it creates a kind of sickness in an industry. Leadership becomes faith-based, while employees who have the temerity to suggest that what seems to be happening is in fact happening are herded into Innovation Departments, where they can be ignored en masse. This shunting aside of the realists in favor of the fabulists has different effects on different industries at different times. One of the effects on the newspapers is that many of their most passionate defenders are unable, even now, to plan for a world in which the industry they knew is visibly going away."

A Simple Model for Online Journalism
(0 clicks; 0 comments)
“As a four-year veteran of a journalism-driven local online media start-up, I believe there?s a very viable business formula that?s actually quite simple, and here today: take advantage of new tools and techniques to cover the news creatively and efficiently; sell sophisticated digital advertising in a sophisticated fashion; keep the Web content free, and charge a high price for content and interaction that are delivered in-person via conferences and events. And don?t expect instant results.”
