ABC Radio Launches Creative Social Space

| Aug 21, 2008

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has launched Pool, a new social media site.

Pool is a social media project developed by ABC Radio National. It’s a place to share your creative work with the Pool community and ABC producers - upload music, photos, videos, documentaries, interviews, animations and more. It’s a collaborative space where audiences become makers.

The site makes extensive use of Creative Commons licences for both source content and to licence uploaded works. I’ve thought for years that there’s an opportunity for the CBC to do something that truly encouraged collaboration and creativity in media. I hope they’re paying attention because this is a great model for them to use.
