participatory culture
affiliations — memberships, formal and informal, in online communities centered around various forms of media, such as  Facebook, MySpace, message boards).
expressions — producing new creative forms, such as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction writing, zines, mash-ups).
collaborative problem-solving — working together in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (e.g. Wiki)
circulations — shaping the flow of media (such as podcasting, blogging).
"a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement, strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations, and some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices. [...] is also one in which members believe their contributions matter, and feel some degree of social con-nection with one another." (Jenkins, 2006)
