SA Project Weekly Update 7/20/07

Greetings everyone, quite a few things to cover in today’s update so let’s get to it.

New photos are up on the Flickr gallery, many of these you may have already seen somewhere on our vast collection of networks but we’re moving toward having all of them in one simple place for easy viewing and browsing.

Stewart has started writing the script for the next SA Project video, without giving away too much information it can be confirmed that the video will delve into the idea of fame through consumer products and celebrity endorsement; more on that to come later.

A deadline has now been set for the website to be completely finished, once this goal has been reached we will begin contacting news outlets such as radio, TV and print to promote the project and get more exposure through the modern media. If any of you have connections that would prove helpful in this regard please contact us at stewartadamsproject@gmail.com.

We received a message from a prominent MySpace account last week indicating that they had added us to their top friends list for the sole purpose of getting the project more exposure. If you would be comfortable adding The Stewart Adams Project to your top friends list it would be a very easy way to help spread the word and would allow us to reach a larger audience.

Lastly, if anyone has any connections with heads of companies or organizations that would be interested in sponsoring the Stewart Adams Project in ANY way please let us know. It doesn’t have to be monetary sponsorship, if they’re willing to make a statement, send out an email, etc. Any help would be appreciated so let’s all pool our networking connections and get this thing rolling!

SA Project Weekly Update 7/13/07

Today's update is meant mainly to bring something to your attention that has already been in place for a while but has not received much participation from the Stewart Adams Project community.  The website I speak of is called Frappr.com



To put it simply, Frappr is a mapping service that allows people to view a visual and geographical representation of their social network.  If you have friends all over the world for example, they can put themselves on your map and you have the pleasure of seeing how far your influence and friendship actually reaches in the sense of linear distance.  For the purposes of the SA Project, it is a map showing how far and how fast the project is growing.  We would love to be seeing little dots show up all over the country and even the world, but like most things, this will require your help and involvement.  So add yourself to the SAP map if you haven't already and get your friends to as well.  As a bonus feature, the Frappr maps can be embedded into any HTML space on your network sites and web sites. Happy Friday the 13th!

SA Project Weekly Update - 07/06/07

So this week's update is a little late, this is partly due to the fact that Stewart has been subdued for the past week recovering from oral surgery that rendered him wisdom toothless.  It is also due in part by the fact that the project team held a planning meeting on Friday and we figured we'd just include the results of that meeting in the week's update.

So here we go:

We have a list of bugs that need to be worked out on the website, at the meeting we started on this list and made the following changes:

01. The website now has an icon associated with it that will show up in your browser's address bar next to the URL.  The icon set includes the following images:

                          

02. The Stewart Adams Project Blogger site has been added to the list of networks. Blogger is basically a simple but useful blog hosting site that will house the same updates listed on the website.

03. In order to facilitate easy viewing, searching and archiving of  the project's many photos, a Flickr account has been set up and added to the list of networks.  You can view what we have up so far by clicking here.
