It’s been a busy couple of weeks putting together a blog that will act as a hub for the content we upload during the AUC Create World 09 Conference.
We’ve taken the theme of the conference as a challenge: creativity on the go, and extended that to encompass ease of access. It has informed the way we are capturing, processing, and publishing the outcomes of our engagement with the conference. Think interviews long and short, vodcasts, blog commentary, and microblogging aka Twitter.
We wanted to create a one-stop blog hub that would ‘call in’ all of the outlier sites we’re using to capture sound, image, and words: YouTube, Audioboo, Twitter. We could have created more social networks like Facebook, or a Posterous, or a Flickr account, but we think that we can cover the kinds of material in a ‘lite’ way using our chosen three i.e., YouTube, Audioboo and Twitter.
We’ll challenge ourselves to use our iPhones (3GS) to capture, process, and upload. The laptops will get a work out of course, but it will be interesting to see how much we can create ‘on the go.’ In a way, this project is an experimentation for us. We hope you will join in.

This is a test comment. Looking good!
Looking forward to staying informed with more great updates from the team and Create World delegates.
