The way in which people create meaning and communicate on the Internet can be understood in the same way that individuals create personal mythologies for themselves.
The natural five-stage sequence around which the tasks and activities of the personal mythology model are organized can be easily summarized and applied to myth-making on the web.
1. Identify guiding myth
2. Generate alternative myths and find counter myth
3. Experience of mythic opposition/ thesis-antithesis
4. Emergence of new central myth
5. New mythos and reconciliation

Here is a brief interview I did at the SES conference in San Francisco last year talking about the importance of social media, personalization or personal mythology and new forms of storytelling. The interview stars at 1:23. I hope to make it to this year's conference.
Digital media financing, production and distribution has been changed forever. These revolutionary changes impact all aspects of any type of media project in all media markets. These changes have and will change all aspects of every media-related business -- all the way from concept to final sale.
