The i-docs 2012 hosted a very interesting debate about multimedia content editors. At the symposium were representatives from content editors Popcorn Maker, Klynt, and 3WDOC. The debate was very illustrative. In this article for my column The Fourth Bit in La Vanguardia, I highlight some aspects based on what it was presented and discussed there. Why talk about the HTML5 standard, about Flash, about programming …

Three of them are Klynt, 3WDOC and Popcorn Maker. On the second day of i-Docs Symposium we will have the opportunity to meet their creators, who will show us some projects made …
All the latest from i-Docs 2012, Bristol.
I write this from an eerily warm Cambridge, saddened by the fact that I cannot travel to Bristol for i-Docs. The group coming together is incredible, and while not physically present, I look forward to following the conversation virtually. As a provocation, Mandy invited me to write a blog post on Zeega — an open-source, HTML5 platform for creating interactive …
Arrival on Wednesday A fair number of people are arriving on Wednesday 21st at various times throughout the day.

I have just received an e-mail from Florian Thalhofer saying that he will unfortunately not be able to come to i-Docs this year (last year he was one of our keynotes speakers – view the full presentation here) because he is working like mad on a new Korsakow-project “the Greek and the Money” (working title). The originality of this project …
My interest in interactive documentaries (i-docs) and transmedia storytelling has immensely grew since the past two years. Part of this interest came from the new opportunities offered to me – as photojournalist – to tell stories in a different way. I needed to put more context into the stories and issues I was covering. I needed to explain things in an engaging …

Guest post by Jigar Mehta, i-Docs 2012 keynote speaker on Thursday 22 March. On January 25th 2012, the one-year anniversary of the start of the Egyptian revolution, we launched 18DaysinEgypt.com. No red carpet, no world premiere. It was a moment that we had spent many months building towards, but the site was not our final product. The launch was the …
