New media ecosystem

Since more and more creators can release their works in public, the relationship between “citizen media” and “mainstream media” is symbiotic. Shayne Bowman and Chris Willis share their views that in the future, the “Journalists” will as a gatekeeper do news filtering, fact checking, watch dogging, commentary, and analysis the information from community, and develop the community as a pool of story ideas.

Image search and the revolution of advertising ecosystem

The key word of information search should no longer limited using “text”; “image” could be another source in the future. Imagine, while you are watching a movie on the TV, you appreciate the presetting style of it. Just press the bottom and “google” it, you can find out all the profile of the director and his relative works. Extend this idea to adverting, the audience can search the furniture in the soap drama that which company design it, how much of it and where you can buy it. Further step, press the bottom and you can purchase on “TV”. The TV will be a virtual retailer, and the price of the advertising will change from “how much per second” to "how much per unit sold”.
