My job here at A Storied Career is to curate applied-storytelling resources (yet another tip of the hat to Terrence Gargiulo for that characterization). Time was when I would write a blog entry about every new storytelling resource I came across. It quickly became apparent, though, that so many fabulous resources existed that I could more easily put them out there by listing them on my sidebar than writing an entry about each one. Sometimes I do a “roundup” entry that lists several resources.

But I’ve decided to single out Jawbone.tv because I see the site as sort of a revved-up counterpart to A Storied Career that “covers the methods, mediums and innovations of storytelling.” That “encase[s] and stud[ies] the mechanisms, the narratives, the methods, and the platforms used to tell stories.”

Jawbone.tv’s tagline is “The Evolution of Story.” The site, which calls itself a “portal — part magazine, part blog, part aspiring broadcast network,” covers aspects of storytelling interest me here at A Storied Career but that are a bit beyond my primary interests and scope — film, interactive, animation, for example. The resources covered by Jawbone lean toward fiction. Fiction is not totally outside A Storied Career’s scope, but it’s not as strong a focus as nonfiction.

Looking at Jawbone’s list of Popular Content, we see a mix of fiction and nonfiction, as well as a bit of overlap with stuff I’ve covered here:

• Tales in the Sand: Kseniya Simonova Spellbinds International Audiences
• Scrabble’s ‘the Beautiful Word’ Campaign True Collaborative Undertaking
• 40 Augmented Reality Projects Sure To Blow Your Mind … Or Just Blow
• Ten Trippy Interactive Narratives, Come On Down the Rabbit Hole
• 5D: Building New Worlds and Stories One Event at a Time
• Interactive Film ‘The Outbreak’ Punished by Bandwidth Costs, YouTube Still Best Bet
• ‘FlashForward’ Turning Robert J. Sawyer Into Next Gene Roddenberry?
• The Score on ‘District 9’ — Composer Clinton Shorter Talks Shop
• Acclaimed PBS ‘POV’ Documentary Films Online For All to Enjoy
• The Sancho Plan: “Live, Interactive and Immersive Musical Adventures”

Bottom line: If you like A Storied Career, you will probably like Jawbone.tv.
