Hossein Derakhshan's 'Making A Blogosphere'
found this earlier today at buzzmachine. Hossein Derakhshan, a Canadian-based Iranian blogger, posted his guidelines for creating a community of bloggers. After Ryan posted it to unmediated, I commented on how Hossein's words were not unlike some of the more important community organizing texts i've read over the years:
Essentially it's about harnessing energy and getting it to move on its own. you show folks what's possible, you teach them how to do it, and then you help them create mechanisms for self-sustainability.
It translates to other media forms as well. Just replace the word 'blogosphere' with 'youth video center' or 'community radio station' and it all seems like the same darn thing.
