Wii the Media

Right after I wrote the last post I came up with the title of this post. In case you didn’t notice its a pun on the phrase “We the Media“.

Can a video game console help Citizen Journalists? The Wii has an internet connection, a browser, a basic photo editing app (PhotoChannel), message board, avatars, etc. Some basic features appear to be missing, like a audio player, but this could change in future updates. Check out The Reasoning behind the Wii. I don’t own one of these suckers btw. yet? I’m living vicariously.

Will game consoles replace PCs as the tool of the masses to MAKE while we PLAY?
