Photography in today's world

So this week I'm choosing to share an art forum website:
Imagekind
This site is designed to share, discuss, and sell art. What is so incredible in today's world of technology convergence is that you don't have to be a "professional" any more to make money off of your work. The internet allows us to connect to thousands upon thousands more constumers, and in turn it creates a market for those who are not quite so professional.

I myself have a membership to this forum and would like to share my work with all of you.
Right here.

More Convergence Culture

As I was reading some of the other blogs last week I realized there were many sites that I actually looked at and use that I never considered as much of a collective site as youtube or facebook. There is kuler which allows users to use or develop their own color palettes for designing. Kuler allows you to design your own colors based on complementary, monochromatic, analogous and other color variations.
Collegehumor.com is a more typical convergance site, it allows users to post humerous, video, photos, or stories to share. Many videos and photos are things that are reappropriated, made or changed by the users to make more of a statement on popular culture.

Exclusively.... FFFFOUND

Ffffound is a collective intelligence blog stated by graphic designers who allow users to post their favorite images that they find online. You are able to trackback to the original source to see where they found the images. Users are able to save their favorite images in-turn creating a interesting bookmarking site for inspiration. What I think makes this site interesting compared to other collective intelligence sites is that its user exclusive.
The only way someone can become a user to contribute and bookmark is to be invited by someone who is already a user. They set-up the site exclusively so that not just anyone can be a user or upload just anything that could make the site lose its integrity or turn into a pseudo photobucket or flikr blog.
