tags

Public access TV stations should find more ways to work together. We all agree on that.

Felicia Sullivan:

I wonder if we in the community media world could start using a mutually agreed upon tag for the work we do in the socially networked world. It would help to pull together the growing number of us using these tools.

Mauro DePasquale:

I would like to see each public access channel dedicate a web page that includes links to other public access channels. . . . We could all set up a standard looking page that would contain links to video streams and video players that exist on respective public access sites. Each link would appear in a box with your public access center's logo or an image.

Let's agree on a common "tag" or "taxonomy" that would pull all of our RSS feeds in one comprehensive whole that could be replicated across all of our centers. Thi s would certainly ease the distribution of content scattered across the web. So what tag should we come up with?

What information are we trying to share? Are a critical mass of access stations using Flickr, delicious, etc? Can you point to other communities that are using RSS to help organize themselves?

WCCA has a Flickr page, and some of the techies here use delicious, but these tools are not in common use. Our website is chock full of RSS feeds, and we have a feed combining our RSS with some of the other local feeds:

I like the idea of using both tags and RSS to communicate, but I don't have a clear idea of what we would end up with.
