I kind of hate that Intellectual Property is a term that anyone other than lawyers and executives uses. Same as content and content creator.

It's fallen into my lexicon as an convenient general term for something that spans multiple forms of media.

But I also agree that it feels a little gross to use. I'm blanking on an alternative at the moment... Franchise?

I have a conspiracy that it's part of a psy-op to make individuals feel like they somehow hold stake in the corporation, so they're more likely to support corporate decisions.

I’d say these are web startup terms. When you’ve got a team that looks like:

angel with a bunch of tech startups under his belt
ceo / biz dev / marketing guy
ceo’s roommate who’s doing sales, biz dev, media schmoozing
web developer
genius functional language purist who does server admin too

Those meetings are gonna have “content creators” connected with lines to Articles to Feeds to Subscriptions and then a line to “content consumers” all in little boxes up on the whiteboard.

“Content creator” is a term for a fungible model of a person whose role in your machine is to fill the content tank so the subscriptions engine can run. How many content creators by Q2 of this year.
