CROWDSOURCING U.S. ELECTION DAY 2010: A GLOBAL PORTRAIT Come share your experience of Election Day 2010! Just use your phone to document some election-related activity and upload your observations to this group as a status update. Post text messages, photos, videos, voice posts, or some combination on November 2. The Facebook group is here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=146061412093532 To post to the group, you need to: 1. Have a FaceBook account 2. Join the Crowdsourcing Election Day 2010 Facebook group 3. Document your Election Day experience and post a status update to the FaceBook group. Your status update could include a photo and a text message from a polling place, an interview with a neighbor or a colleague about their opinion of the election, a video of some form of campaigning that you see on November 2. We are asking for "status updates" because we are looking for more than a simple text message or a single photo - the status update needs to make sense all by itself. At the same time, we are not looking for a full-blown report. SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER * There are many ways to post to Facebook from a cell phone. Visit the FaceBook mobile page to find basic, Facebook-approved, apps or services that will let you post to FaceBook from your phone. FaceBook mobile is here: http://www.facebook.com/mobile/.. * Most phone apps and Web services let you post directly to your own Wall, but not to a Group. If you use an app or service that just posts to your Wall, you will need to figure out how to repost your status update from your Wall to the Group. You may have a browser on your phone that will let you do this, or you may need to go to a computer to transfer the post from your own Wall to the Group. There is more information about how to post to the FaceBook Group with your cell phone available on the Discussion board of the group. Because there are many ways to do this, feel free to post your favorite phone-to-FaceBook app or service on the Discussion Board.
