Hi everyone, As many of you know, I've been playing around with different types of group blogs and podcasts in recent weeks, reading a news story about New York's Central Park today made me come up with an idea.
Christo's public art project, The Gates, will be arriving in Central Park in just a few weeks, and I thought it might be interesting to set up a blog that would allow any visitor to send an email or call a telephone number and have their impressions of the exhibit posted on the blog. I could even set up a group Flickr feed based on a specific tag so that people could post digital photos of the exhibit. (I recently did this type of group blog at the Harvard blogging conference; you can see the result at http://mobcasting.blogspot.com.) This would give the public a chance to play with blogging, photo blogging and podcasting in an simple, accessible way, all centering around what I'm sure will be a huge topic of conversation in New York and elsewhere. I was also thinking it would be fun to have groups of students in NYC post their own thoughts about the exhibit. So I was wondering if there was anyone on the list that was planning to do anything with their students or other groups in New York related to the event, and if anyone might be interested in getting involved. I could easily set up accounts for different individuals, classrooms or schools, so they could each have their own ID when posting to the site. This isn't an official project for work or anything - just an idea I thought I'd explore for myself. Anyway, please let me know what you think.
