Send the CBC’s Spark Story Ideas Through the Spark Wiki
I haven’t been following Twitter much today (darn that work thing), but I happened to catch a tweet from Ross Mayfield of Socialtext that the CBC is using SocialText Wiki technology to crowdsource radio programing.
The wiki can be found here-Spark Story Ideas / Spark Wiki (this is a link right to the story ideas page)-and the main Spark show page on the CBC site gives you an idea of what host Nora Young covers. Looking at the current story ideas, I see there are a couple social media-esque ones, but I could certainly suggest something about the whole public-private bit. Not just Facebook, the current whipping boy, but Twitter, photosharing, etc.
I’m thinking to myself that I need to submit some ideas. Or even just one good one.
Pretty good idea for a public broadcaster to ask listeners for story ideas. Speaking of which I need a guest or two for my first show on MapleLeafTwoRadio … I’m thinking Ben from Standout Jobs would be great, since he is presenting at DEMO later this month.
Now if Ben wimps out…who’d like to step up?
