So if anybody still reads this,

I’d like to say that it was an awesome experience to work with all of you. I think we did a great job, I think the best of the 3. Not that theirs were bad.

Anyways, do we have the video of the presentation up anywhere?

Some of my professors have asked us to give the presentations to their classes. Who’s got it and how can I get a copy? Also is there a version of the final script up somewhere? is it the Google Doc?

Call to action: put us to work! October 16, 2007

One of my faculty friends who teaches advertising and marketing campaigns reminds me that great endings often involve good “calls to action.” One ending he remembers from a great student campaign was, “Now put us to work!”

With all due deference to music from later decades, I propose we end the presentation with this musical call to action:

I found some neat stuff we may want to be partially familiar with, although its probably not important or similar enough to put into the presentation, someone may mention them.

gather.com – is a social networking site for writers, most of them appear to be semi- or wannabe semi-professional. There is no integrated collaboration system but there probably is some going on.

We are Smarter than Me – is a book published from a wiki project about harnessing crowdsourcing for profit. Which is exactly what the publisher has tried to do.

so, it looks like tandem will have to be more of a codename anyway… since there is a newspaper called Tandem (www.tandemnews.com), based in… of all places… TORONTO. (I was gonna buy the domain name for $10 or whatnot so we could have it)

On a lighter note,

first off, video 2 is done, but for some reason my ftp access to my student server has decided it doesn’t like me.  I’ll upload it tomorrow when I’m in the labs at school.

Second, because of said ftp problems and other failed attempts, I still haven’t gotten the UNLV footage.  Hepi and I have been troubleshooting all day and we think we’ve got it figured out.  He’s currently uploading the file to phillips server space, where I’ll pull it later tonight.

I’ll be in the labs most of the day tomorrow editing, but for now, I’m off to work.  I’ll be on our conference call, but won’t be able to stay on long.
