Warning: walking while reading the smart phone may be hazardous to your health. Tuesday night on my way home from the SXSW Awards Party at Austin of dark and overcrowded 6th Street, I stumbled and split my lip on the sidewalk, gushing blood. My BlackBerry was unhurt. I hailed a pedicab to the local THERE, where I no stitches needed, but looked like someone had hit me in the face.
Just the day before I was been furiously tweeting the NYT media columnist David Carr's interactive panel I am so productive, I never get anything done, for which he rounded panel members Anthony De Rosa (product manager at Reuters, founder of SoupSoup and Neighborhoodr.com) Molly McAleer (memoirs blog MollsSheWrote) La's and Ta-Nehisi Coates (senior editor/blogger at the Atlantic Ocean) address multitasking and productivity, and talked with me about it afterwards, below. Here is the live blog Steve Myers of the Panel.
In his intro for the packed room with people standing along the walls, said Carr:"You answer email, check your RSS, Twitter, update, and then when you're finished you do all over again. Then ask your boss and your wife, ' what about what you paid for? ' We content creators. We create content and we are promoting. Lately I've been so busy promoting what I do that I don't do what I do. "
The internet is changing the brain: "it evaporates and turns into Red mist," said Carr. "The Web is the most prolific invention ever both the greatest time suck. " At the same time Carr feels a healthy envy for freelance blogger-turned-NYT media reporter Brian Stelter of endless productivity: "he is a robot assembled in the New York Times building and to kill me."
People who spend time on Twitter are often looking for himself, observed Carr, "day trading" in the Holy Church of the self. He abhors the lack of respect shown when you look at your smart phone instead of attending the one your with. Carr sees people don't communicate, typing next to each other. "There are a lot of people together at this Conference."
One questioner suggested trying a media-free week once per month: it's time to put down our phones and more present with each other. There was loud approval in the room for that sentiment.
McAleer finds it easy to do a personal memoir blog, but she is always on, 24/7. She is blogging her life, but worries about something happening with her dog when she runs him and reading her phone at the same time. Atlantic Coates said that unplugging and build real relationships in person is the key. He focused on his 11-year-old son. He writes short three to five interesting posts per day, but hopes that he will not be blogging in six years. He used to write more longer more thoughtful pieces.
The Rosa curator and aggregates around topics, he said: "it is difficult to unplug as there is always something to share." Original content is labor intensive, while the programming is about finding things; that is easier to keep. "We are more productive, but we are paid less." Carr added that America is the only country in the world where is when people get paid more they work harder.
There was a feeling afterwards that this Panel full of productivity tips less than therapeutic; the room was enjoying what they needed to hear.
The same was true on the Blogger centipede: how content is eroding credibility Panel (podcast is there; also check Twitter hashtag # bloggercentipede), who pulled a large cross-section of the online film community, known from my Twitter feed. It seemed that many of these movie site runners and staff needed to hear what their best practices and many of them pledged more transparent, link and share more credit going forward.
Moderater Kate Erbland, managing editor at GordonAndTheWhale.com (@ katerbland) moderated the panel (including myself) on the State of online journalism, ethics, steal, and curating. Children on the net are lifting tweets and posting other peoples reviews as their own, Cinematical critic William Goss (@ williambgoss) says: "how we [the concept of plagiarism] strengthen with a generation who thinks that copying and pasting is ok?"
"I don't know if it is inherent that are stealing from people," says MTV NextMovie Matthew Patches (@ mister patches), who sees whole pieces turning up on fan sites. "I do not know what that stems from." Pajiba Publisher Dustin Rowles (@ pajiba) is disturbed by how much ideas spread through the web, with no one knowing where they are incurred.
"We want to keep ourselves to a higher standard, 12-hour wait and report anything really?" asked Goss. "Get them excited about the real thing for the right reasons?" The Panel discussed issues of how pull readers to sites — with the same old trailer or rumours that everyone has, or with the original content, context and analysis? How to balance between quantity and speed with quality? You people drive by linking to other sites, or keep them by claiming that what you are running your own? What are the best practices on the web? How you weigh a casting short list, a screen-test or a rumor from a non credible source? Your readers with unconfirmed casting on a movie that is still bait?
Patches asked everyone to slow down. "Is not the answer to things right on your site to do?" asked one questioner. "We just fixed Internet, people," joked Patches. One questioner said people should just be shown how to do it. "They are supposed to teach ethics?" asked Patches. "Should we write a statement of principles," closed Goss.
"We have to help those guys," agreed Patches. "That helps them? We will disgrace them when they do something wrong but we will not help them when they're doing something right. "
A questioner also brought the issue of the attack on each other on Twitter. Let us respect, credit and original content about the movies we love, share Cinematical of Erik Davis said. "Less of an echo-chamber and more of a free love orgy," closed Goss.
The Guardian attended the Panel and some ideas together about the growing power of taste maker movie fan sites on festivals such as SXSW. Indeed.
