Content in the #OMN
In the #OMN we keep things simple. There are 3 main categories of content (plus a 4th, transitory chat, which we don’t cover here):
Post
The main media object. This could be an article, photo, video, or podcast – the core piece of content you want to share.
Comment
A flow branching off each post. This is where dialogue, debate, and reflection happen. Comments are tied to the post but flow outward as part of the network.
Feature
An overview object. A feature gathers together related posts on a subject, adds context, and links both inward (to posts and hashtag flows in the #OMN) and outward (to other sources).
Together, these 3 categories form the data soup that flows through the #OMN’s pipes. Posts are the raw material, comments are the social metabolism, and features are the compost heaps where meaning is aggregated and fed back into the commons flow.
It’s all just linked objects in trust mediated flows, that’s it #KISS
