Pictures may be worth a thousand words, when there’s a picture to match what you’re trying to say. — Always Bet on Text [https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/193447.html ] The future of text is going to be text+ (text + multimedia e.g. photos, videos, gifs, podcasts etc). In a mobile first world coupled with our shrinking attention span, readers and users want text+ for a faster, more immersive, gratifying consumption experience. Multimedia stories are the future of text. For rich storytelling to have the fast consumption of videos and it photos, it also needs to be interwoven with the depth and organization of text. It’s not going to be enough for Medium to be just text + photos. The Atatvist Mag does a great job embedding rich media into longform content. Now anyone can generate Pulitzer-winning content on par with “Snowfall”, which is powerful. The Atavist is democratizing high brow publishing to the masses. You don’t need programmers or photo editors anymore to produce high quality long form content. Publishing platforms like Facebook Notes, Medium, and the Atavist empower anyone to generate publisher-par content. Text Conveys Emotional Depth I question a world and system that overweighs “fast food consumption” over “slow food consumption”. Text is slow food because it takes longer to produce and consume. Like fast food, fast consumption fills you up fast but doesn’t do much for you. In a world where we measure user satisfaction and trust, we neglect the very basic metric for “connectedness” between users. NPS scores mean nothing if your users don’t feel connected to each other. I want to see companies adopt a metric for “connectedness” measuring how a reader feels towards the writer after reading a story. We should measure how you feel after reading a post. Did it make you feel more connected to the writer? Was the 1 minute you spent reading quality time? How does 1 minute of cat video trade off with 1 minute of reading? Most importantly, text conveys a certain emotional depth that is not possible in photos and videos. People write during heightened states in their life like when Sheryl Sandberg wrote about losing her husband (I broke down reading her beautiful and poignant post) or when Mark Zuckerberg wrote about the miscarriages he and his wife Priscilla experienced before Max was born (very few people talked publicly about the pain of miscarriages until Mark’s text post). Writing helps us share our pain and heal together by connecting others to us through shared humanity. Through writing we find out that we are not as alone as we thought about our hardships. Writing is a conveyor of vulnerability and brings people together. You can get to know someone through their writing. Writing makes me feel like I know someone like katie zhu before meeting her. From reading Katie’s Medium posts, I felt like I knew her and skipped the small talk when we met in person. We talked about everything from our shared love for writing to love-hate relationship with SF to internet ethics to cognitive diversity. We started on what would have been a fourth or fifth conversation level all thanks to me reading her writing. Writing connects people because it provides a deeper understanding of someone’s psyche, their beliefs, and their values. And that is a powerful thing in a world with so many disparate beliefs and divisiveness in political and religious factions. Writing has the ability to help you understand the other side’s opinion and dismount hidden biases. Your product is only as good as the amalgamation of the people who use it. Content changes on the web but products that build deeper, meaningful connections between people will be lasting. Let’s not get caught up in a “fast food consumption” world and forget that the internet can also be place for permanent, deep, and meaningful expressions. And this is why I believe in text. Text is not over yet, it’s just the beginning."]]> boren writing text web digital via:tealtan 2015 slow reading slowreading howweread howwewrite communication socialmedia atavist longform mediumform snowfall christinachae twitter theskimmm buzzfeed michaelsippy slate theawl text+ theoffing theatlantic alwaysbetontext sms texting snapchat connectedness emotions storytelling instagram medium facebook internet online photography video toddvanderwerff messaging chat multiliteracies https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e0088b1da739/ 2015-01-09T22:36:28+00:00 http://www.scottcarney.com/2015/01/feature-story-market-cap-writer-wants-think/ robertogreco journalism writing pay compensation media magazines longform 2014 scottcarney publishing 2015 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:44d59fb15712/ 2012-09-20T08:06:37+00:00 http://soulellis.com/2012/08/scanflipspread/ robertogreco paulvirilio design longform automation dromosphere printondemand mutamorphosis uncertainty spread flip scan future ebooks bookfuturism googleglass speed access socialreading gestures nostalgia smell patina reading publishing books 2012 paulsoulellis slowreading slow selfpublishing self-publishing https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4e67a3e12ad4/ 2012-09-18T20:39:38+00:00 http://rhizome.org/editorial/2012/aug/24/slow/ robertogreco slowreading massmarket paperbacks ebooks longform fishapp robinsloan jackcheng slowweb slow speed fomo 2012 reading publishing rhizome books https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:21a6d748c24d/ 2012-09-10T16:38:52+00:00 http://karrisaarinen.com/in-defense-of-the-best robertogreco square instagram newness qualityoverquantity slow robertpirsig karrisaarinen 2012 quora longform facebook twitter media addiction https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1a9af4981d87/ 2012-08-06T16:21:49+00:00 http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/26/3184496/hacked-brain-adderall-cautionary-tale robertogreco drugs psychology longform adderall brain via:jbushnell https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:43a20ad68aea/ 2012-02-01T15:53:08+00:00 http://www.npr.org/2012/02/01/146083369/tina-browns-must-reads-dictators robertogreco toread cullenmurphy fear control architecture inquisition stasimuseum berlin eastgermany despotdecor dictatorchic peteryork northkorea literature fiction identity adamjohnson 2012 longform books tinabrown https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e9c74a05f288/ 2012-01-27T08:34:16+00:00 http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/top-stories/160301/5-provocative-ideas-sparked-by-women-in-media/ robertogreco humor comedy longform homicidewatch discovery connections curation instagram 2012 nostalgia connection sharing cv media journalism mariapopova mattthompson creativity https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:cb5181a8d0fa/ 2012-01-17T23:12:08+00:00 http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/01/how-radiolab-is-changing-the-sound-of-the-radio/251509/ robertogreco post-livestream post-internet pretension radiolabeffect robertkrulwich twitter blogging journalism storytelling productionvalues authority longformjournalism longform theatlantic online web radio alexismadrigal jadabumrad 2012 radiolab https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:c4be7303ac5f/ 2011-08-24T11:10:15+00:00 http://designmind.frogdesign.com/articles/the-never-ending-story.html robertogreco design art writing storytelling jonathanharris cowbird slow slowness multimedia thisishuge gamechanging 2011 interviews classideas curating curation twitter facebook longform meaning meaningmaking meaningfulness self-expression internet web stories social socialsoftware metastory relationships connectivism narrative memory memories soundscapes soundmaps timelines video gifteconomy https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:bbbdf111a3ee/ 2011-08-15T22:46:33+00:00 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/26/stephane-hessel-93-french-bestseller robertogreco
The unlikely publishing sensation is a former resistance hero whose 30-page essay, Indignez-vous!, calls on readers to get angry about the state of modern society.

Launched in October by Indigène…tiny first print-run, 6,000…sold for €3, unprecedentedly cheap in a country where book prices are regulated & kept high by the law.

Hessel's success has stunned France. After two months on the bestseller lists, the book has spent five weeks at number one…has sold 600,000 copies & – publishers predict it will reach a million…

 argues that French people should re-embrace the values of the French resistance, which have been lost, which was driven by indignation, and French people need to get outraged again…calls for peaceful and non-violent insurrection…"]]> stéphanehessel books publishing longform writing culture society politics 2010 insurrection resistance life qualityoflife france immigration outrage indignation frencresistance inequality disparity wealthdistribution https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:522cf4d6b7be/ 2011-08-01T06:35:24+00:00 http://log.scifihifi.com/post/8315602718/twitter-instagram-and-the-journalistic-impulse robertogreco buzzandersen twitter instagram tumblr writing fscottfitzgerald journals archives archival journalism fragmentaryideas noticing longform longformtweeting tweeting 2011 notes notetaking thinkingoutloud https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e676798820c9/ 2011-04-19T17:57:34+00:00 http://byliner.com/ robertogreco writing journalism news books writers byliner longform longformjournalism shorts https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f1a2e9e7663f/ 2011-02-01T06:22:11+00:00 http://www.marco.org/3044068415 robertogreco
Instapaper will soon provide an option to send logs of your reading activity to your Readability account if you have one, so pages you read in Instapaper will give “credit” to the publishers.

I’ve created a special Readability edition of the Instapaper iPhone & iPad app to serve as Readability’s official mobile app, due out in the near future.

I’m an advisor to the company.

Trust me, these guys really know their stuff, & their heads are in the right place: there are no sinister motives or shady practices. It works exactly the way you’d expect, & is one of the most positive, constructive efforts I’ve seen in the online publishing world in a long time."]]> instapaper readability media publishing micropayments longform marcoarment https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:0a831d4fc4fb/ 2010-08-04T17:26:19+00:00 http://snarkmarket.com/2010/5979 robertogreco events ted gamechanging tcsnmy lcproject future generative generativeevents newliberalarts longnow 48hrmag longshot robinsloan timcarmody snarkmarket collaboration collaborative classideas media blogs blogging longform phootcamp ironchef oneweekonetool writing 2010 education weliveinamazingtimes generativewebevents https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e2869b970d72/ 2010-08-01T18:15:13+00:00 http://givemesomethingtoread.com/ robertogreco aggregator instapaper reading toread longform journalism writing https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4fc1f136e60d/ 2010-08-01T18:14:22+00:00 http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/004610.php robertogreco kevinkelly longform instapaper givemesomethingtoread toread magazines ipad ereaders kindle reading https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:6b27763ba78c/ 2010-08-01T18:12:13+00:00 http://longform.org/ robertogreco content longform reading instapaper media news journalism writing toread iphone ipad aggregator culture design essays https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:cdbee3e29141/
