MicroContent is a new phase in the development of Internet. After sites and web-pages,
MicroContent defines an even smaller content fragment. MicroContent Items are content fragments
that focused, self-contained, indivisible, structured and addressable. These attributes allow a new phenomenon
on Internet: mixing and mashing. There are multiple ways how MicroContent can be combined
into larger macrocontent containers, such as web-pages, applications, DVD’s, etc. Although we
are at the very early stages of this development several mashing parameters can be described.
MicroContent mashing allows the audience to become the producer and will have impact on many content
usages, such as learning.
