PRODUSAGE

“ ... the production of ideas takes place in a collaborative, participatory environment which breaks down the boundaries between producers and consumers and instead enables all participants to be users as well as producers of information and knowledge, or what I have come to call produsers . These produsers engage not in a traditional form of content production, but are instead involved in produsage - the collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement. “ Bruns, Axel, Blogs, Wikipedia, Second Life, and Beyond: From Production to Produsage Peter Lang, New York, 2008.
