Preparing our media

What equipment do we have?

I believe it depends on what your needs are, how much money you are willing to spend and wants vs. needs. I have equipment that can assist me with social technology but I am not sure when or if I will need everything I have.

I have a desktop and laptop; webcam, digital camera, small digital video cam, a cell phone with camera.

How much equipment do we need?
I believe people think they have a need at the time of the situation, but they then find that over time it was for an acute need and not long term

What stories are being told online?

I think the reality of reality is what is being told online. It is not scripted for the most part, but people giving insight into their normal lives- some of which we find may not be so normal

What stories do we want to tell?
I think we want to tell what we believe are common interest of human beings.

How do we tell it?
We tell the stories like an everyday discussion, These stories should have a sense of normalcy

Who is the audience?

We never know what will peak someone's interest so the audience and the demographics vary

What is its role?
The role of the audience is to invoke conversation- conversations that people may normally not have face to face.

What is the difference between video in blog, on a website or on TV

On a blog a video invokes a myriad of conversations
On a website and on TV tends to be just for viewing, no discussion normally happens unless someone is watching it with you
