Web 2.0 and Voice


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qehR5lgATDY&ab_channel=Howfinity


Recently, Florida Governor Ron Desantis had a digital "campaign kick off" using Twitter Spaces. Twitter Spaces is an interactive voice chatroom that users can host and join. This event crashed the Twitter servers several times and the Space kept crashing due to bandwidth and swarms of users. 

I've seen other accounts host Spaces with small accounts, prominent accounts, CEOs, New York Times roundtables, and all sorts of different communities. This feature is heavily pushed on the mobile app too. These spaces are recorded and archived automatically too.

What do we think of this voice-first approach to Web 2.0 interactions?

Creating A Network: The I4 IDs

Image
I recently joined a new Central Florida group for Instructional Designers. We named it the I4 IDs (the name was my idea). It is a revival of a previous group that existed in 2019. I created a LinkedIn group for the organization, and the goal is to have a website down the line. It's still early but actively engaging in the creation of a new network that exists as an in-person group and online community is exactly what this course is about! Feel free to join if you're in Florida at all.  Links:  https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12835226/ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/i4ids-orlando-learning-design-group-articulate-storyline-interactive-jam-tickets-630999375117 \

Studios have realized that these services are a money pit and are having a hard time making their money back. At the same time, customer expectations have changed.
