It made me think about how important this facet of participatory culture is in terms of encouraging contribution. It is almost as if the hospitality and connectedness serves as a powerful source of self-governing within each sphere of the culture. This self-government can be seen as another manifestation of the participatory culture, allowing the sphere's own members to participate and contribute, while simultaneously acting to preserve and further develop the culture as a whole.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641662071293233675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8690010098825077594.post-35382707270296404572015-03-17T09:42:07.868-07:002015-03-17T09:42:07.868-07:00First, I have to say that I love how you phrased y...First, I have to say that I love how you phrased your idea about access and the potential of participatory cultures: "If participatory cultures are to reach their full potential then we must first become aware of the differences in access. There must be universal and meaningful access for all human if the participatory cultures are to progress as a whole." I also like your point about people will access developing rules and ensuring that new members understand them, as well as how you mention that, though all members do not have to contribute, they must feel as if they are free to.<br /><br />For me, that's something huge I keep coming back to in terms of a participatory culture. I do not feel as though someone has to be activity contributing in terms of ideas, but they must feel as though they can. For a long time, I did not actively use my twitter or my tumblr, but I felt as though the culture was a participatory one, simply because I was welcome to post at any time, and I felt like I was always free to do so, even if I was making an active choice not to.<br /><br />As for your question, I think that one's real world knowability can affect his or her respect within online participatory cultures so long as those online know the person's real world identity. While it may not be the most genuine ways to determine respect, if someone is famous or known in the real world, I think it does ultimately impact how that perfect is viewed and respected.Nicole Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688113902367550906noreply@blogger.com
