NewNew.nl first ideas

A few months ago I suddenly had the inspiration for a domainname. (Well the conference The New New internet helped a bit). Newnew.nl is the name I came up with. It’s a wink to the idea that every new idea/concept/product will always be followed by a newer, faster and better idea. The second connection is to the abstract concept of “New Media”. Can new media only be defined by the fact that it is new, or are there more underlying structures in which we can divide new media from the other media?

For quite some time, I’m allready thinking about starting a second, thirth,fourth, fifth Dutch weblog for some months now. Inspired by the fun I had in writing my thesis and my current writings for BlueAce and Frankwatching I thought it might be a good idea to have a personal but work related dutch language blog. Which wasn’t directly linked to my own portfolio, so I could easily ask other people to write with me.

So where is it all about? At first the social aspects of New Media, perhaps even some stories about Reputation and Reputator. Next I want to put myself somewhat more on the background so also other people could join as writer for the blog. And as a third, I want to use more other media input like videos from YouTube, photos from Flickr, slides form Slideshare, links from del.icio.us etc. And as last I want to visit and write more about events. In short:

  • Articles about newmedia
  • Video from YouTube
  • Agenda from Upcomming
  • Short link blogging from Del.icio.us
  • Multiple writers

Possible problems: Time, where do i get it? There are allready so many blogs, why add one more? How can i get create any value, that will one day possibly pay a part of my rent?

So what do you think is there still space for one blog more?
