Added Value

Hi folks,
I’m very excited to participate in my first THATCamp this week. I’m really impressed and interested in the topics that have been posted so far and I think they should make for some excellent discussion. I’ll throw one discussion in the hat:

What I would like to discuss is examples of added value online. It’s nice to make pictures, documents, primary sources, or historical work available online. But how do we package that and make it something that the public or consumers are actually interested in? How do we make it a package that is attractive and interesting compared with what is available through traditional media (i.e. Newspapers) or new media (i.e Wikipedia).

Looking forward to meeting everyone in Ottawa. Cheers, Joel.
