Feb+8

Notes from Feb 8 meeting:


 * Concept:**
 * brief narration while screencasting Google Earth
 * zoom in / zoom out / pinpointing different parts of Earth (via GEarth)
 * data highlights / epithets / anecdotes of social networking (SN) use as pertains to different countries / parts of planet -- highlighting differences / variations in SN use
 * common thread tying all data highlights together (not sure what this will be yet)
 * all data highlights / epithets to be 140 characters or less (allowing easy Tweet-ability)
 * music: possibly using some of [|Philip Glass's album], available freely on Amazon (AJ to check copyright issues)


 * Content:**
 * highlighting differences in SN use between USA and rest of the world (notably, "developing" countries)
 * 140 characters or less (easily tweet-able)
 * all within a common thread -- possibly grouped into different themes with one overall common thread -- purpose to be revealed at end of video
 * short, 10-second "blips" of users in different countries recording themselves saying, in their native tongue, "I use [fill-in-the-blank of their most-used SN]." This to be applied / added to GEarth zoom ins


 * Process:**
 * AJ, Adrienne, and Jon to trawl through preliminary research sources to pull out key highlights of data and / or stories related to our topic
 * "Dump" all key highlights of data onto Data Highlights page
 * After we have a substantial amount of highlights, we will begin sorting, clustering, organizing to see if common themes / threads emerge, from which we will structure our video's content.
