social networking and media and the creative entertainments industry

How can Social Media help advance the creative entertainments industry?

Web 2.0 has moved social networking and media so far and so fast forward that many feel that the creative entertainments industry has struggled to keep up.

There are a few good blogs out there and some nice groups on social media sites such as facebook and myspace but I feel that there is so much more to be done.

Social networking enables the sharing and collaboration of ideas and work through open content althoughit has yet to be taken full advantage of by those in the creative industries. Sites such as this help the cause so much, but there is still much more to be done.

How can we interact with one another discussing, provoking, analysing and evaluating creativity in every sense? How can we distribute ideas to the wider world therefore enhancing the PR of the creative industries? How can people use social media to enhance and advance themselves as artists and designers?

This group is for the sharing of knowledge of the ways of Web 2.0 and how it can help advance the creative entertainments industry. Spreading the word about blogging, micro blogging, sharing, viewing, commenting, inspring and much much more.

Please join and comment and help fulfil what this group is if you have knowledge to share.
