What is Cowbird?

Cowbird is the latest entry in the social media. According to Cowbird, it bills itself a small community of storytellers, focused on a deeper, longer-lasting, more personal kind of storytelling than you’re likely to find anywhere else on the Web.

Cowbird allows you to keep a beautiful audio-visual diary of your life, and to collaborate with others in documenting the overarching “sagas” that shape our world today. Sagas are themes and events that touch millions of lives and shape the human story.

Their short-term goal is to pioneer a new form of participatory journalism, grounded in the simple human stories behind major news events.

Their long-term goal is to build a public library of human experience, so the knowledge and wisdom we accumulate as individuals may live on as part of the commons, available for this and future generations to look to for guidance.

To join the Cowbird community, one needs to request an invitation.
