The internet: Connecting everything and everyone“The Internet is enabling conversations among human beings that were simply not possible in the era of massmedia. These networked conversations are enabling powerful new forms of social organisation and knowledgeexchange to emerge.” – The Cluetrain Manifesto.The Internet is the most powerful network for exchanging information that has ever existed in human history. Itscoverage, accessibility and influence grow every day. With recent advances in web publishing and socialnetworking technologies, it is possible for a small organisation or even an individual with a shoestring budget andlimited IT skills to establish a global communications network. You can meet new people, talk, chat, share photos,videos, documents, audio recordings online.Internet technologies are giving people a global voice. They are also allowing people to network and exchangeideas with people all over the world with a scale and speed that has never occurred before. The increase in ‘socialnetworking’ and direct exchange of information is driving major changes in society:• In the past people got most of their news from mass media such as TV, radio and newspapers. Nowpeople are starting to get a lot more of their news from each other directly through blogs, communityforums and social networking applications such as Facebook and Twitter.• The newspaper industry is in decline in many parts of the world due to ‘competition’ with the internet.A number of high profile papers have recently gone bankrupt and the industry is essentially strugglingto reinvent itself as an internet business.• “Citizen journalism” via websites and social networking applications is beginning to supplant someaspects of professional journalism, simply because people with internet-enabled camera phones havebecome ubiquitous. People can relay photos, videos and text messages essentially live from thescene of a breaking news event, long before a news crew can get there. In the context of the presentproject, people can also publish information that the mainstream media may not be interested in, suchas better agricultural management practices.• Journalists are beginning to move towards becoming secondary compilers and editors of informationpublished online by ordinary people rather than doing the original ‘field work’ themselves, becausethey simply can’t move fast enough. CNN has used Twitter as its primary source for coverage of somemajor recent events.Practical ways to use the internetThere are many different ways to communicate over the internet and more are being developed all the time. Thegood news is that most are available through free, high quality service providers, and even the paid services areavailable for just a few dollars. These are actually the easiest way to make use of the internet, as the technicalissues are all managed for you. We will focus on some of the more popular free services here. There are manymore, but these will get you started. Practical measures you can take include:• Set up a blog or website• Distribute an email newsletter• Broadcast audio recordings (“podcasts”)• Share videos and photos through Youtube and Flickr• Participate in social networking: The gorilla of the internet87
Set up a blog or website for your work"Web 2.0" refers to the second generation of web development and web design. It is characterised as facilitatingcommunication, information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World WideWeb. It has led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and webapplications. – Wikipedia.“Web 2.0 is about databases that grow through user contribution...it’s network-effect driven databases.” – TimO’Reilly, O’Reilly Publishing.Establishing a website of some kind is a good first step in making your information more accessible to others,building a public profile and for attracting feedback. With careful planning, web publishing offers:• Massively improved accessibility and circulation of information and publications. The massive scaleand worldwide nature of the Internet means that even the simplest of web pages can be a highlyeffective communication tool.• Control of the publishing process. The web offers the opportunity to publish information that may nototherwise be able to be made available in any form.• Low publishing costs. Good web publishing tools are available for free and most of the costs are fixed.• Fast publishing. It is often possible to publish a new document and inform people of its availability inonly a few minutes, making “real time” reporting possible, as well as the provision of time-sensitiveservices such as market information.• Community participation. Many web-based digital publishing tools are designed to be interactive,allowing groups of people to communicate and collaborate in the process of creating and publishinginformation via the Internet. This allows the publishing process to be decentralised, giving the creatorsof the content more ownership of the process.There are, of course, limitations to using Internet as a mechanism for communication and networking:• The Internet is not accessible to everyone. In most cases it is useful only to the subset of people thathave access to the Internet and/or computers, which tends to be relatively low in rural areas andamong farming communities, although in terms of absolute numbers this group can be very large.• Internet usage tends to be better in the public/research sectors.• Some degree of computer literacy is required to make effective use of a digital publishing system anddeal with daily security issues such as viruses, and a somewhat higher level to plan, install andadminister such a system. These skills are often limited or unavailable in public-sector organizationsinvolved in aquaculture.The easiest way to establish a website is to make use of one of the free ‘blog’ or social networking websites.These typically provide some simple tools you can use to post your own stories, photographs, videos anddocuments on a ‘personal’ webpage. Most are free (just fill in a form to sign up), and some provide simple yetsophisticated tools to allow readers to comment about your content or interact with one another. Recommendedfree sites worth trying out include:• Blogger (weblog service): https://www.blogger.com/start• Facebook (weblog service with sophisticated social networking): http://www.facebook.com/Set up an email newsletter88
