Thanks, Professor Forester, for finding this. 🙂 You can use Audacity to create sound files and then upload them to the Jumpcut site with pictures as a slideshow. Very, very cool, and it looks pretty easy to do too!

Smart City Radio: Connecting Through Technology

Posted in New Ideas! with tags , , on February 27, 2008 by placemakermedia

Here’s a podcast from Smart City Radio. It’s about the influence technology is beginning to have with social networks and social chance. It talks about enabling social networking between people ‘without having organizations tell them what to do’, i.e. to learn and converse independently between themselves. That’s the spirit behind Placemaker!

From Smart City Radio:

Connecting Through Technology

New technologies are combining to change the way we influence our communities. In her book, Momentum, Allison Fine writes about these new technologies and how they are igniting social change in our connected age. Allison is a senior fellow on the Democracy Team at Demos: A Network for Change and Action in New York, and was the founder and Executive Director of Innovation Network.
