About Ourmedia
Welcome to Ourmedia, a community of individuals dedicated to spreading grassroots creativity: videos, podcasts and other works of personal media.
Have a creative streak? This is a place where you can discuss home-brew media, store your stuff for safekeeping and show off your works to a global audience. (Bonus for video artists and podcasters: free bandwidth.)
Welcome to the new Ourmedia! It’s been a long time a-comin’, and we’re not done yet
First, we’ve adopted a new look and some new functionalities. The big change is channels. We’re still working on setting them up — they’ll be changing quite a bit over the next week — but once they’re fully functioning, you’ll be able to use Ourmedia channels as a simple way to pull together any collection of media items - created by you or others - that you’d like to organize by subject or interest. Anywhere on the Web, not just on Ourmedia.
See New features on Ourmedia for information about channels, streaming music, featured podcasts, Community talk and more.
Second, we have some good news about Ourmedia’s new round of development and our new legal status: Our Board voted to merge Ourmedia with Outhink Media and to continue operating the site as a public service. Here’s my message about those developments.
Kudos to Markus Sandy for all his help in launching a new era on Ourmedia. We’re hoping members of the Drupal community will pitch in to take this project & service to the next level.
Many thanks also to Rob Beckett, lead programmer for Santa Cruz Tech (who provided major help with the Principles of Citizen Media Project). Rob spent much of the weekend sprucing up Ourmedia’s CSS stylesheet (we’re not done yet). And thanks to Ken Moore and Lisa Padilla, who offered valuable design suggestions.
We hope you’ll plunge in to offer feedback and criticism about our new efforts.
What is Ourmedia about?
We’re a community of video producers, podcasters and other grassroots media makers coming together to show off citizen creativity, discuss methods for creating higher-quality works, and interact with one another.
We want to advance creative culture and the Commons. See our Mission statement for how we’re different from YouTube and other video hosting sites.
Who is behind Ourmedia?
Videobloggers, podcasters, members of the creative community, technologists, educators and others interested in spreading digital culture are behind Ourmedia.
What kind of media belongs on Ourmedia?
Almost any kind of digital media. Ourmedia consists of video (blog video, music videos, television-style reports, documentaries, underground films, grassroots political ads, animation, machinima), audio (interviews with authors, oral family histories, readings of properly licensed book chapters), original music, photographs, ebooks and more. You decide what goes up on the site.
