A link to my Flickr gallery, "Us vs. Them": http://www.flickr.com/photos/canadianaeh/galleries/72157623183092797/ and a direct link to my edited version of the photo that appears on the FB group page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/canadianaeh/4313445456/ (//note: I am open to creating a Flickr group pool of photos if we think that might be more useful.

By using BOTH Facebook AND Twitter, we can also do out own research to see which has the greatest reach. Certainly Facebook will allow us to put out and receive in the most amount of data (i.e., no 140 character limit). I'll keep updating the numbers (see bullets below), so we also track our growth.

Why don't we solicit ideas and video clips from people around to world, to be included in the video? We can use the Twitter and Facebook accounts to reach people and then have them reach out to people.
