We are doing a little research project that requires finding some interesting people around the world.
The description and stuff is below, if you fit the bill, or can point us in the direction of someone who does we'd be hugely grateful (and we'll show that gratitude in some way yet to be determined). Any thoughts, please contact [email protected]
"We're looking for people who are completely at home in the world of digital technology and use it to produce content as well as consume it. They don't have to be supertechie, but probably have a blog or two, know how to upload video, subscribe to various feeds. Maybe they did an art project with a hundred mobile phones. Or vlog news from their school. Or something else.
The two main requirements are that they:
1. have something interesting to say and use digital tools to say it
2. live in China, Germany, Brazil, Korea or India
They'll get 100 pounds for answering 11 questions on webcam or videocamera and uploading their answers to our site. Some creativity is requested."
dang! I don't live in India anymore but do meet the criteria. Anyhow, I did shoot an email to friends back home with the link. Hopefully they get in touch with you soon.
btw: love the OIA logo!

I have a friend who is from LA, but is currently finishing her Masters in MultiMedia Systems at Trinity College in Dublin.
She has a personal blog, a group blog, and is working on a blog that combines mobile technology, Google Maps, and GPS. Her thesis was about how creative professionals utilize mobile technology.
Let me know if you want to be put in touch with her.

Oops. Too bad she doesn't live in any of those countries.

Russell, I live in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and am a willing participant.
BTW
I received the book you sent and am in the middle of reading it but my wife keeps making me switch to "The Baby Book" in preparation for our first.

Hey
That's lucky
I am from India. And I seem to meet all the criteria you've set. I can spend the time, no problem.
