The graphic at the top of the article is interesting; it suggests a trend of creating real articles to just short one-liners to just linking to others. What comes after this? Perhaps this is a reaction to the growth in mobile where creating content is more tiresome in favour of just clicking share on someone else's picture or article. It's empowering to those who create - their content will be shared more and there will be more curating than producing.
- eladgil 15y agoI think TripAdvisor experimented with this back in the day. E.g. they changed the size of the text entry box and saw that: (a) smaller text boxes got them a larger number of lower quality reviews. (b) larger text entry boxes got them a smaller number of high quality reviews. Even the size of the text entry box changes user perception of how hard it is to contribute, and how much to actually write. So I am guessing there is still lots of interesting UI innovation in these areas...

- KevinEldon 15y agoNo. It suggests that new services are being created to distribute existing information and to create new forms of information. Blogger still exists and as far as I know is doing just fine. Twitter, Tumbler, and Pinterest just provide a new way of organizing, creating, and accessing information.
