In the beginning, TechSoup’s Marnie Webb, Daniel Ben-Horin, and Billy Bicket created NetSquared to "remix the web for social change." The idea was to embed the functions of existing social sites like Meetup , Flickr , and del.icio.us. An example of an API is when you put a Bing or Google Map on your website.).

Beth's Flickr Stream. From Icommons comes an incredibly useful legal brief to remixing media in the age of participatory media and campaigns by Steve Vosloo, Digital Hero Book Project. There are some issues related to the remix chain and what is or isn't fair use. What's even better, you don't need a law degree to understand it!

Photo by Terry Bain in Flickr I've been hearing a lot lately from folks who work in nonprofits asking for examples of "social media or social networking policies." There are examples (see below). The first wave of this was the social media strategists for nonprofits, take Wendy Harman for example.

I love the photos, but I think you can better visually demonstrate the ideas expressed in the reasons - For example, "Blogging Connects Us To Global Conversations" - Why not a screenshot of Globals or this photo for example example, although it is all rights reserved, but you could ask permission).

This can take place in a variety ways, including brown bag lunches "Facebook Friday," presenting examples from other organizations experiences, sharing market research data about consumer trends and social media.

This morning I got an email from my colleagues at NTEN telling me it was an awesome example of tagging. They are encouraging people to tag into del.icio.us, flickr, YouTube, etc. The next step, of course, is to throw in a little remix and participatory media culture into it! There are 198 photos in the flickr stream. (My

Sometimes it is very useful to have fun examples of new technology. With the help of Cambodian bloggers who shared some sound files of the khmer word for tooth and a description of tooth customs, we created a one-minute documentary about the Khmer Tooth Fairy: Remixing Cultural Customs Around Loosing a Tooth.

Personally, I expect to see gift economies really take off on the web, in non-profits and open source with the ability to remix knowledge, skills and experience into something different. Currently, he's blogging about his Web Office experiment which is well worth following.

Security: Photographers might take photos with intent to do harm; for example, with plans to rob the museum or stalk another visitor.

For my 50th birthday, I held a 50th Birthday Card Photo Remix Contest on flickr and donated $50 the winner's favorite charity. For example, Mizfit is donated a dime per comment to a local women's shelter. And, yes they did ! But it doesn' t always have to be you asking people to donate.
