A) What do you understand by the words 'produser', 'produsage' and 'inter creativity'. Are they useful in understanding collaborative creation of online content?
These answers where taken from Axel Bruns (2006) ‘Towards Produsage: Futures For User-Led Content Production’ . This can be found at the below address.

I understant the term 'produsers' to exist in an enviroment were a production of ideas can take place, which breaks down the boundaries between producers and consumers. This allows all participants to be users as well as the producers of information and knowledge.
Burns coins the term 'produsage' to mean "the collaborative and continious building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement" This exists in websites such as Wikipedia, whch is a collabrative open source software.
Inter-creativity, meaning the internet + creativity. This is the creativity that takes place on the internet between users.
I think that all of these terms are useful in understanding the collaborative creation of content online, because it shows the different stages in which creativity takes place.
