Liveblogging first panel from DIY 24-7: DIY Tools and platforms. Panelists are Joi Ito, man about the world, Chairman of Creative Commons; Marc Davis, Yahoo’s social media guru; Dean Jansen, outreach coordinator for Participatory Culture Foundation; Angela Wilson Gyetvan, Revver VP.

Angela starts out, appropriately, by showing a toe-tapping video about revver. Notes that Revver shares revenue. Revver focused on producing web shows from the start.

Dean — nonprofit developer with open source platform — Miro, supported by foundations. About 3500 channels — like a combo of a DVR and RSS. Small team of moderators filters out porn and outright copyright violations. “As tv moves on, it can be in a closed fashion, or it can be as open as possible. We have blip.tv, revver, youtube, yahoo — you can add websites as guides. We’re trying to create an open ecosystem that makes patchwork quilt of video on the Internet available through easy interface. You can search and subscribe to, for example, George Bush mashups.” Check it out at getmiro.com.

Marc Davis — I’ve been waiting 20 years for 2008, in which production of video is a daily thing around the planet, in which people create as well as consume. Revolution now happening is that the device you carry with you all the time. Put platforms in place that captures in place that what happens when you make media — place, time, descriptions. Thousands of people are uploading — 63,000 geotagged photos in LA. Tagmaps: Web 2.0 meets DIY Completely automated collective construction of what matters in the world and sharing it. Making it possible for all of us to tell the story of the world together. Building and making accessible collective archive of human activity, and doing it at the point your device is making the media and sharing it with the rest of the planet.

Joi Ito — no single platform. Innovation happens at the edge and startups. Yahoo is a great platform. A lot of people break the law not because they want to, but because they don’t know what is freely available and usable and what is not. Automating access to usable material is essential. Right now it is difficult to attribute Creative Commons licensed material — it ought to be uploaded from your camera phone (building on Marc Davis). Norms are important — although you are allowed to do something, legally, it might be nice to add attribution. While it’s OK to do political satire, maybe it’s not nice to show people in a demeaning way. The normative stuff — what is OK to do, and in what country what is OK –is something we need to have a conversation about.

Dean — both important and inevitable that there be multiple platforms. We are working on ways for people to advertise over their RSS feeds. We don’t think it should be required of everyone, but adding the option is important.
