People must choose with attention the music for them communication. It communicate deeply the feelings that words can not transmit. It is the final touch for every communication.

We are mashing up IRS data on 1.4m charities, user reviews and ratings, wiki pages for each charity, and more. In addition, we are joining this data to merchant-funded rebate malls to generate donations through shopping, auction services and more.

As with any Google Map, all the "bubbles" will be clickable to show detailed information.

We envision a two-tiered approach bringing the best of both: Print & Web.A magazine that stays on your desk and points you to where you can find more information when you want it - an interactive website with the latest info. 

The photos, videos, and maps for this project are largely user-generated. People will share or find the latest examples of greenwashing, and go from there.

HealthyCity.org currently offers users access to over 120 demographic and community characteric variables, from 9 different data sources. Our data and sources are described in detail at: http://www.healthycity.org/c/help/sc/indicator. For the proposed national service, some of the California-specific data sources may not be available nationally (such as data from the California Health Interview Survey or from the WIC program), but their functions may be replaced by other data sets. There are a number of health and economic data that state and federal offices use that are only available at the county level (so they cannot be displayed on our current site); offering a national view will make comparisons and disparities between counties and states accessible to users. Users will be able to:- Upload their own data sets- Overlay data points on top of demographic and other data- Map and analyze data within a radius around an address, or within a ZIP code, city, legislative districts or other jurisdictions- View core demographic and other data for the selected geography in tables and charts- View assets, such as schools, parks, fire and police stations, on an interactive map, with types of service (identified by icons)- Identify information about assets or service providers by scrolling over their icons- Cut and analyze data by over 60 demographic, health and other indicators

With the new Web 2.0 and mobile communication and electronic tools, a traveler can take their own multimedia tour guide with them. How this works: Travelers can search Google Maps for tours and tour stops across the world.Tags associated with the multimedia tour stops help travelers focus on the subjects that are of most interest to the them. Fellow travelers can rate the tour stops and can add their own tags to help identify them for other travelers.Local people can upload multimedia tour stops about the history of local areas. Geogad will give them a chance to reach out to travelers and explain why their homes are definitely worth a visit.Ways to get the tour:The tour itself can be streamed from the Geogad website.For the more mobile travel, the tour can be uploaded to a portable media player to be viewed at the traveler's leisure when at the location. For travelers with access to the Internet on their phones, the tour stop video clips and audio/photo slide shows can be streamed directly to their phones. For phones with GPS capability, the traveler could spontaneously search for tour stops that are close to their location and are of interest to them.

Every organization does its own promotion and listing. This information would need to be aggregated into a common format. All the PR people would have to be "on board" with making timely and consistent updates. We'd need to show that doing this one "data entry" would propagate across the internet, resulting in numerous listings for their showings (as Eventful does). Then we would need to let potential client organizations know that we have built a better mousetrap.

Alchemlist will merge information provided by thousands of non-profits with proven geolocation and mapping technology. Non-profits will provide the information on who they are, what their purpose is, who they serve, and (most importantly) what they need. Visitors to Alchemlist will provide information on what they have and where they are located.Users can search for specific items/categories of items they have to donate and find a nearby non-profit that needs them.Users can search for non-profits in their geographic area and see what items they currently needUsers will be able to see a map of non-profitsIn the future they will also be able to search for non-profits by category (Youth, etc) A Facebook application is also being developed that will allow people to see a map of non-profits near them. Non-profits with Urgent Needs are indicated with a different symbol. Leveraging Facebook's social networking capabilities with Alchemlist's non-profit wishlist compilation, people will be able to immediately communicate with each other and work together to help those in need In the next phase, users will be able to participate in a scavenger hunts feature where they can join teams and gather items for non-profits. Individuals and teams will be able to set goals, score points, and compete.

Visitors will be able to access information that they might not find otherwise. The principle of the project is that the first step towards true cross-cultural understanding is simply getting people to start talking to each other - to get excited about the idea that people from around the world can be brought so close via the internet. The defining features of the site will be the visual display of users and blog posts, and the ability to look up content from a particular area with an easy-to-use and appealing interface.Visitors to the site will be able to view a map of the world and zoom in on regions and countries. These maps will show the location of bloggers, recent posts, users online, etc., allowing visitors to visualize the world’s voices in a unique way. Each region and country will have a "lobby" where recent blog posts by VOE bloggers of that region are displayed on a sidebar, along with selections of recently posted photos and videos. For a given region – Africa, for example – the user can view blog posts of users writing from Africa, primarily, and blog posts about Africa written elsewhere.
