You + Me = Can all be ‘PRODUCERS’ of information!

Pull down those boundaries (or run into them) between producers and you as a consumer, there is no longer a wall between producers and consumers it is now seen as an equal right and anyone can do it… you could be possibly doing it now just like myself!

First lets get straight what produsage really is, basically…. It is everyone that changes or manipulates media to produce a new product e.g. YouTube, Wikipedia etc. We (as in anyone) out there in the world that has access to the internet can be a producer, simply by adding a YouTube clip, writing content on Wikipedia or even adding content to other peoples topics. With Wikipedia you are able to write absolutely anything (with reason) about any topic you basically wish … Exciting I think, But is it all real?
Here is an example of produsage with Pepsi Max:

Any one can contribute to being a producer of produsage!  And quite frankly why would you want to be the consumer when you can be the producer by simply manipulating or changing a Youtube clip.... But by adding content to YouTube and becoming a producer does this make you a celebrity?… I personally reckon NO for most people.. but defiantly for this Britney lover who has attracted so much publicity over the world and has not even been thanked by Britney Spears herself HOW RUDE OF HER… What could she possibly be doing with all her time….

So by posting video clips, writing content and changing the product it makes you a producer instead of that boring term Consumer, who wants to be a consumer these days when you can be a producer instead and have your name written all over the title of your chosen YouTube clip, whether you fell off your bike, got a blood nose or wanted to tell the world to leave Britney alone its all done by everyday people at home with a phone that has a video recorder… I encourage everyone to get out there record or manipulate videos clips or paste content on Wikipedia what ever floats your boat really and turn yourself from a consumer to a producer….. Sounds better I reckon. ( We need to remember when changing someones original content into produsage we need to respect their rights and be cautious about their feelings). 

Now realistically, even though you are running off now manipulating someones else's original content such as George Bushes speech to be a producer of produsage we cannot ignore that we are still consumers in a little way, as we do consumer other peoples media or produsage. And if we didn’t well lets face it, it would be quite frankly boring! If you don't know how to be funny or you forgot how to be funny I have attached a clip below for your reference, it may be helpful in attracting consumers to your new version of a YouTube clip.

Enjoy being Producers of Produsage!
