Notes+from+Jan+27+2010


 * AJ's idea: 140 characters or less – easily Tweet-able
 * linking data – having data speak for itself
 * one particular aspect of US vs THEM
 * something that highlights //**both**// U.S. “better” and U.S. being “worst”
 * idea that other countries are socially progressive, not economically
 * but U.S. continues to think of these places as being “developing”
 * start with “U.S. as best” material → turn it around
 * common thread / theme throughout the world – quantifiable (not qualitative)
 * effects of social networks?
 * twitter usage, e.g.
 * FB use
 * media consumption?
 * mobile technology use?
 * gaming?
 * [|broadband / infrastructure]? what/which countries are devoting to updating themselves
 * getting a clue → for Americans
 * mobile use?
 * Our statement: social networking is narrowing the gap between US vs Them
