As quoted by Alan Levine, "Cowbird allows you to keep a beautiful audio-visual diary of your life, and to collaborate with others in documenting the overarching 'sagas' that shape our world today. Sagas are themes and events that touch millions of lives and shape the human story. Our short-term goal is to pioneer a new form of participatory journalism, grounded in the simple human stories behind major news events. Our long-term goal is to build a public library of human experience, so the knowledge and wisdom we accumulate as individuals may live on as part of the commons, available for this and future generations to look to for guidance." I was thinking yesterday that we need something like a 'News Commons'. This isn't it, but it looks in the right direction.
