WeMedia browser extension, user story:
I want…
a Firefox plugin that detects any NYT (or other MSM) link and upon clicking on it gives you top non-MSM links on the same topic after parsing the HTML.
So that people can…
get P2P media often with better information & generate less ad revenue for status quo corporate media and instead do more so for independent/local media. I’m not online to get more MSM media. (I don’t know about you, but I’m here to route around it and get more public media, more source/varied/alternative information about our world.)
MSMugwumpScore browser extension, user story:
I want…
a Firefox plugin that looks at a Twitter user’s last 100 tweets and tells you via an overlay near their avatar what percent of their links are to MSM content.
So that people can…
have an ongoing sense of the info-diversity of Twitter users and follow or unfollow based on each person’s threshold percent for normative, and as NYU’s Jay Rosen aptly calls it, “voice from nowhere” news content.
