• if you want to create a bulleted list in a metanote,
  • and i know you do…
• you need to know what an asterisk is.
• it’s the little “star” that shows up when you hit Shift-8 on any standard keyboard.
• If you begin any new line in a metanote with “asterisk” and then a space, this will begin a BULLET LIST automatically!
  • To make sub-bullets, enter two asterisks at the beginning of the line.
• It’s very simple once you get used to it!!!

Textile makes it easy to add special formatting. Use the following conventions:

• create bullet lists with asterisk-space as a line opener
• insert images by bracketing the URL with exclamation points
• bold text by bracketing it with asterisks
• italicize text by bracketing it with UNDERSCORES (that’s shift-dash on your keyboard)
• to separate paragraphs, hit the enter key two times – textile doesn’t recognize “newline” with just one enter.

you can make text HUGE by starting a new line with h1.

you can make text less huge but still big by starting a new line with h2.

don’t forget the period-space for h1. & h2.

A spectre is haunting the Mass Media—the spectre of User Generated Content. All the powers of the Mass Media have entered into an unholy alliance to exorcise and co-opt this spectre: CNN and the New York Times, major record labels and fundamentalist preachers, Washington DC spinmeisters and Chinese police-state information wardens.

Where is the media in opposition that has not been decried as unprofessional or anarchistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of iconoclastic self-expression and diversity of information and opinion against its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact:

I. User Generated Content is already acknowledged by all Old Media powers to be itself a media power.

II. It is high time that the creative forces of User Generated Content should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the spectre of non-conformist expression with a manifesto of User Generated Content itself.

To this end, independent Internet creatives behind various online projects have assembled to develop this website and sketch the following manifesto so that you, too, can join the User Generated Content revolution fast.

In short, Internet self-publishers everywhere support every creative movement against the existing social and political order of the Media Monopoly that overwhelms the minds of the Public with conformist programming masquerading as fact and entertainment.

In all these movements, they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the creative principle and the right to broadcast the fruits of the imagination, no matter what the creator’s technological or expressive sophistication at the time.

Finally, they labor everywhere for the free flow of information and democratization of expression of all countries and demographics.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of media monopoly.

Editor-in-chief and revolutionary pamphleteer, upscale gallery owner and graffiti artist, media conglomerate and indie rocker, government regulatory bureau and pirate radio operator, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open contest for the eyes, ears, hearts and minds of the People, a contest that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of the means of communication at large, or in the abandonment of old media structures and strategies for new.

The modern mass media society that has sprouted from the brainwashing technology of television and media consolidation has not done away with independent publishing. It has but established new fronts in media dominion, new tactics of inforrmation suppression, and new forms of independent broadcast in place of the old ones.

The individuals creating MetaNotes disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the overthrow of the monopoly on communication previously held by those who control the means of mass communication. Let the networks and newspapers tremble at a User Generated Content revolution. The creators and users of MetaNotes have nothing to lose but the programmed portions of their brains. They have a universe – and a powerful and autonomous new future – to win.

Notetakers of all countries, unite!

• MetaNotes is a new way to take notes and store and arrange content either solo or in a team.
• MetaNotes is made of NOTES ON SPACES which contain your ideas and those of others.
• we are still sort of pre-launch so pardon our dust & tell us if you have any ideas.
• please don’t violate copyright, pretty please, or else we’ll have to delete your notes upon request. thanks.
• everything here is public space right now – we are trying to create a culture of sharing and openness.

You see an image you want to see again and again, so you want to save it to your MetaNotes account! All right:

• select “Copy Image Location”.
• create a new note and title it.
• *type ”!” then “ctrl-v” then ”!”.

Here’s an example:

For a permanent image link, upload your image to a free hosting service (like photobucket.com) and embed the ‘direct link’ url into a note. Don’t forget to flank the link with exclamation points!
