Hey Jenna,
I should start off by saying that my comments may sound harsh, but I onlymean to help your group pick out all the little bugs that may be lurkingin your ideas.
Good luck,
Christina
#5) I'm really not into this idea. I think that putting a stylistic spinon a story is irresponsible journalism - it cuts out objectivity. Thissounds like a tool for making propogranda.
#4) This sounds cool, but how different is it from a local news paper?I don't see the value proposition. I think that if you were a person whoconstantly travels that it would be great, but I don't know how manypeople fall into that category. I think maybe I misunderstood this alittle bit.
#3)Very, very cool... If you can do it, go for it. I don't know how youcan make the technology work for you, bit if it's there, that's awesome.
#2)I think that social networking-sites need work when it comes to news,but I wonder how much interest there is. Why would a person choose to gettheir news here and not someplace else, just something to think about.
#1) This sounds neat, but how is the information organized? What is thethread that ties it all together. The whole 'rolling over images and theychange' thing has already been happening for a long time.

Hey guys,
I'm doing mixed group feedback (from Group A). I couldn't find where your 5 ideas were posted here, so I figured I'd just respond to Christina's feedback. I already gave this to Hepi earlier this week, but I'll post it for you all to see. And he already answered some of my questions. Sorry this is ridiculously wrong. There were only 3 ppl. in our original mixed group feedback when we did it last week, so it was a lot easier to put a lot of thought into it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Information overload: You're right about how original/innovative and therefore project appropriate it is. Check out this site: http://www.zreportage.com/. It's like a photo essay/story, and reminds be a lot of your idea. One way to differentiate might be to add audio? I think one way which your idea differs, a strong point on your end, is the inclusion of more multimedia. The idea of commentary strengthens this project's idea of community/participatory journalism. I like the idea but a.) agree there are things too similar to it out there and b.) can tell you're not sold on it, which means it's going to be hard to sell to someone else.
Social Network News Categorization System: To be honest, I don't understand this explanation of this project. Is it adding a "hard" news application to social networking sites? If so, this was one of my ideas, and I'm all for it. But I can't tell if this is what you're talking about or not. I like how you intend to gear it to the interests of you and your friends, and the fact that it has commentary. I'm not so sure, however, about only seeing the comments of people in your community. Isn't that almost censoring what you are seeing? And what about people who comment on story because they are in one community, but a friend can't what they were responding to because it was from a different community? Seems to me to be a lot of room for confusion. And can you be a member of more than one community (like you can join more than one Facebook network, for instance)?
Online fact check, etc tool: I guess my question for this one is the tool name didn't correspond with the explanation. I was imagining it as something that looked for plagiarism within papers (or even stories) and I know tons of those in the academic arena. But is this tool voice interpretation? So if a source gives a story to more than one journalist, or you get more than one story from the same source, you can tell if what they are saying is accurate. Kind of like the theory behind a lie detector test? I think there is too much responsibility on the journalist here. I guess that's my understanding, but again, correct me if I'm wrong.
Locational news: I like this idea. Like you say, news is already largely based on location, but this uses your actual location, not just where you originate from. What I mean by that is if you're on vacation, you might still tend to read your news from back home (especially with online newspapers) versus going in picking up the local paper. This is even more true if you're looking for the national news aspect. There isn't a lot of explanation here, so I don't have a lot of feedback, but I'm definitely in agreeance that it's more geared toward PDA/cell phone type devices. It's also something that has come up in several groups, which leads me to think there might be something like it out there.
Mood simulator: The explanation here says there would be more information to come on this since it wasn't fully developed, so I didn't know where that was at? I like the idea behind this a lot, and it is something that can be applied to more than once site, versus your project being totally devoted to a single site. I think this is a good idea because it is applicable with both hard news and entertainment-based news. And maybe this could go beyond news ... maybe it could actually be applied to your browser. On a MUCH MUCH more basic level, I was just thinking how Yahoo! tends to "accessorize" its home page with animations, etc. during holidays, seasons, etc.. Something to think about beyond the news front. I'd be interested to read what has been come up with if it's been further developed.
That's all for now. I hope this helps. Sorry if my lack of technological ability inhibited me from really delving into your ideas, but I'm definitely tried my best. You guys have some really creative ideas ... and some other groups haven't mentioned yet in my browsing, so you're on the track to originality and innovation.
