I had to check to see if this OhMyNews article was published April 1.

It wasn't.

Could we have one too please?

p.s., in case the link rots - it's "OhmyNews Citizen Journalism School Opens"

That is an excellent, and potentially quite productive, question.

How did it become cool there?

That's very true Scott. It would be niave of me to think that citizen journalism is known to all.

One good thing did come out of that video (or maybe it was another I watched last night.... I spent a fair amount of time looking at these types of videos).

I began to wonder about the success of OhMyNews. It wasn't technological - it was, as boss Rosen says - all about organizing people.

Being a citizen journalist there became cool. Journalism somehow transformed into geek-chic. How can that be done in America?

Because all developments on the Net are “new” to large numbers of people even if they are old hat to me or you or some other subset of users. And as that “newness” rolls in waves across the social landscape it generates these reactions, inspiring “huh?”s among the old hat crowd.
