By enabling community sharing and responding, Oort-Cloud catalyzes interactivity and engagement between writers and readers. <i>This is how readers become better readers, and how writers become better writers.</i></p> <blockquote><p> ...<b>authors create and distribute their work, and readers, individually and collectively, including fans as well as editors and peers, review, comment, rank, and tag, everything.</b><br /> -- from <a href="/?q=node/2">Social Publishing</a> </p></blockquote> <ul> <img src="/images/WSRR.gif" style="border: 1px solid gray; margin-bottom: 10px;"/></p> <p><b>Write - Share - Read - Respond</b><br /> </p> <dt><b>Write</b></dt> <dd>First, writers write.</dd> <dt><b>Share</b></dt> <dd>Second, writers share with others what they have written.</dd> <dt><b>Read</b></dt> <dd>Third, readers read what is available.</dd> <dt><b>Respond</b></dt> <dd>Fourth, readers respond to what they have read.</dd> </ul> <p>In a nutshell, though, the "Open" in OpenLit refers to the idea that the most essential quality of the written word is that it be shared. Oh, and the "Lit" part refers to the word itself, of course. ;-)</p> <p><a href="http://www.oort-cloud.org/?q=node/5">read more</a></p> oort-cloud.org OpenLit publishing Sat, 10 Feb 2007 22:03:43 -0800 Paul B.
