I was one of four keynote presenters &#8211; alongside Nancy Baym, Patricia Lange, and Adriana de Souza e Silva. I had a great time, and I&#8217;m very grateful to David Gauntlett and the other conference organisers for inviting me. The keynotes were all video-recorded, and I&#8217;ll post the video of mine here once it becomes available. In the meantime, here are my abstract and a copy of the slides (mostly pictures, as is my practice when giving these kinds of talks).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<strong>From &#8216;Broadcast Yourself&#8217; to &#8216;Follow Your Interests&#8217;: Social media five years on<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When YouTube started to become popular in 2006, it had little functionality beyond the uploading and sharing of videos, and the invocation to &#8216;broadcast yourself&#8217;. Around the same time, Twitter first invited users to share  everyday updates with friends and colleagues in response to the simple question &#8216;What are you doing?&#8217;. In 2011, YouTube is a central  player in the contemporary media ecology, extending well beyond amateur videosharing; and Twitter plays an increasingly central role in the origination and dissemination of real-time news, largely as a result of social, cultural and technological innovations originally introduced by the user community. At the same time, the ongoing commercial evolution of these and other &#8216;social media&#8217; platforms has gradually  repositioned us &#8211; as &#8216;users&#8217; &#8211; in  new ways. In this presentation I trace some common trajectories across several social media platforms, and discuss their consequences for the future of participatory culture.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"width:425px\" id=\"__ss_9237260\"> <strong style=\"display:block;margin:12px 0 4px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/jeangenie\/from-broadcast-yourself-to-follow-your-interests-social-media-five-years-on-9237260\" title=\"From &#39;Broadcast Yourself&#39; to &#39;Follow Your Interests&#39;: Social Media Five Years On\" target=\"_blank\">From &#39;Broadcast Yourself&#39; to &#39;Follow Your Interests&#39;: Social Media Five Years On<\/a><\/strong> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/9237260\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<div style=\"padding:5px 0 12px\"> View more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">presentations<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/jeangenie\" target=\"_blank\">Jean Burgess<\/a> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[crossposted at my own blog creativity\/machine.] On the 1st and 2nd of September I was in London at the third Transforming Audiences conference, hosted by CAMRI at the University of Westminster.
