Those interested in participatory and experimental media will be excited by the ABC's launch this week of Pool (http://www.pool.org.au) - a CC-friendly social media site aimed at the artistic and remix community.
 
Pool has a big focus on sharing, and offers the full suite of CC licences for uploaders. After a casual (and completely non-scientific) count, it looks like a good portion, if not most, of the works being uploaded to the site are under CC licences. And some of them are absolute rippers - like Red Thread, Huni Bolliger's moving animation for her father who is suffering from dementia. Or the fabulous series of bird call recordings uploaded for remixing by Jane Ulman. Or the film theory essay,
Text: Transcendental Style and the Poetics of Tsai Ming-liang
by Tim Dodds, which has been remixed into a poem, Text: the moment of absurd transcendental mundanity by Don Cameron. The list goes on and on.
 
You can find Pool's official press release here: http://abc.net.au/corp/pubs/media/s2343061.htm
