My working abstract:
Storytelling in a Socially Networked Culture
Social integration into the Internet and the growth of online social networks are changing the way we sit around the fire and share our stories. It is the goal of this paper and website to provide insight into the evolution of the tool and platform of online social networks by, placing it into a historical context, surveying its recent past and forecasting on its future impact.
The paper will be specifically focusing on how we now, thanks to Web 2.0 tools, tell brand stories, user-generated mass-media stories and technologically mediated interpersonal stories. The strictures of online social networks effect how stories are told, which influences what stories are told. An assessment of the cultural impact of this new breed of stories will be examined throughout the work.
Ultimately, this document will help anyone to navigate the ever-changing face of this online space to facilitate effective and creative storytelling.
