Philly Content Strategy

Content as a Service: Artificial Scarcity & the Post-Ownership Economy

October 24 · 6:00 PM
Jon M. Huntsman Hall at UPenn

Description:

We've become so used to treating digital content like physical goods that we've forgotten how different the two really are and how unsustainable that business model really is. In this PANMA co-hosted talk, content strategist and Developing Philly co-creator David Dylan Thomas suggests new directions for content consumption and compensation that respect the fundamental nature of content today.

Questions Answered:

Why can't we just treat digital content like physical content?
What are some new options for compensating content creators?
What does it mean to live in a post-ownership economy?

Speaker Bio:

David Dylan Thomas is the founder of the Content Camp unconference that debuted at Temple University earlier this year, is the co-creator of the Developing Philly web series that chronicles the rise of the Philly innovation community, and works as a content strategist at Empathy Lab.

Great program! So much to think about, especially the idea of many agile solutions, rather than 1 silver bullet. I wonder how the popular support models of KickStarter and Patronism would play out if applied to solving the world's problems, rather than depending on the traditional investment model. Would income be regarded as donations, or investments? Does KickStarter have for-profit examples?

Such an awesome night with a fantastic speaker and a great, engaged group of people listening and asking questions. From tonight, I learned to make my blog last forever, I must carve it into stone :)
