The want something clean sophisticated not cheesy . Lori specifically stated in the meeting that she does not want this to be anything like http://www.nick.com/. 4) there will be absolutely NO advertising on this site. The revenue comes from subscriptions. 5) What is IMBEE? An interactive community where kids can upload art and creative projects. Artwork may be in process so kids will upload and then download and then work on the art and then upload again, etc. 6) the site will have an email component, instant chat component. flash games components and an area for parents as well. They also want to offer a space for kids to make music and upload their own movies. 7) They are unclear on the technology at this time. These people (especially Lori Brown who has more than 20 years of experience in telecommunications), really GET technology. However, they want to wait until the Lead Software Architect is in place in order to provide that person with the opportunity to join the collaborative discussion and be a stake holder in the decision making process. 8.) The group is exceedingly bright but very very casual. They expect new partners to think and offer fresh perspectives and also stand their ground when defending a position - this is my intuition - they did not come out and say this. _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [email protected] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
