Hi everyone, I've just launched an open blog and mobcast for people interested in following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina:
http://katrina05.blogspot.com/ The blog is set up so that anyone can post a blog entry, podcast or photo to the site. I'm particularly hoping that residents of the Gulf Coast will be willing to call in and let people know how things are going for them. Similarly, anyone who would like to share ways to help out, or wishes to share their thoughts on the hurricane, may post as well. (I'm still trying to figure out an automated mechanism for posting video.) Here's how to participate. Post a blog entry: Send an email to katrina2005.comments @ blogger.com. The title of your email will be the title of the blog entry, and the email body will be the blog entry body. If you don't want your contact information, you should remove your signature file. Attachments will not be posted. Record a podcast: Dial 1-415-856-0205 Enter login 515-515-5555 PIN code 2005, then the # key Record your message Press the # key to save, then the 1 key to post Post a photo: The website is collecting photos from Flickr.com that are tagged with the word "hurricanekatrina." Simply log on to Flickr (or create an account), upload photos, and use this tag. Photos appear in the right column of the blog's homepage. I've also set up a "tag-o-rama" inside the right column of the blog. It displays links to relevant key words like hurricane, katrina and new orleans, linking to tagged content from Technorati (blogs), Flickr (photos) and del.icio.us (websites). Please feel free to share this email with anyone who might be interested in participating. thanks, andy -- ----------------------------------- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media & Community acarvin @ edc . org http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.tsunami-info.org Blog: http://www.andycarvin.com ----------------------------------- ------------------------ Yahoo!
