Happy birthday to Ourmedia

Ourmedia launched one year ago today!

Little did we realize how influential we’d become in helping to spur the citizens media movement. We now have 87,000 members and about 150,000 works of personal media that people have uploaded — video, audio, photos and more.

Our first year was about giving people the power to share their media. This next one will be more about helping people to create better media, to collect and to discover great grassroots media. We’ve launched a preliminary Digital Media Learning Center and have ambitious plans for the rest of the site.

Wish us luck as we embark on a slightly new course!
