Next week I'm doing a Webinar for Extension Professionals , a remix of 10 Steps to Association 2.0 which was a remix of Marnie Webb 's Ten Ways Nonprofits Can Change the World.

To celebrate, I concocted an action learning experience in user generated content, the Beth 5.0 Flickr Photo Birthday Remix Contest. Ultimately, 22 remix photos were posted, slightly less than half of the people who joined. Click here to view the video. As many of you know, I celebrated a milestone birthday this month.

Aesthetics of Experience: Photo-taking is distracting for other visitors. And I think the fourth and fifth are bizarre and ungenerous to visitors.

Who controls the experience? Who controls the experience? If museum and library content is licensed, not owned, how can we work within those licenses to allow visitors to use and remix to their heart’s content? I came out of this experience feeling like we spent too little time talking about change. Who owns the stuff?
