Nokia Feedback Part II

Have just come out of a meeting with Nokia Trend Labs to do a debrief about last Thursday's workshop day.

I conveyed the comments and feedback that you have been putting up here on Ning. They, and I, agree that we will need to better explain how Nokia Trend Labs can offer a forum for experimental mobile journalism the next time they work with a school of journalism.

This is an experimental collaboration for all of us so we're going to make mistakes along the way.

Hopef… Continue

Post Nokia and Feedback

Hey all,

So Nokia Trend Labs came to us yesterday and some of you probably thought it was worthwhile and a number of you have already blogged and commented that it was a not a good day.

Let me throw my thoughts out there so they can act as a lightning rod seeing as I arranged this Nokia collaboration.

First up, Stanley Paris theatre sucks and if you can't get sound to work properly in multimedia presentations then you lose your audience.

That said, the first p… Continue

Hi Matt. I was just wondering when our Ning profiles will become publicly viewable, as I promised the lady I interviewed that I would show her a copy of the piece asap. Thanks, Ele

Hi Matt, just to let you know that i have had to reload my Capturing Cardiff, my audio file wasn't playing properly. It seems that the spacing of the html with my video file was interfering. It's all fixed now hopefully.

Cheers, Huw

Hello Matt - just had a chance to view my capturing cardiff on jomec computers which have firefox and saw my audio file had the words "invalid track" next to it...so just updated it - now it doesn't. Just thought I would make it all work on one page.

No worries. The URL is: http://cardiffjomeconline.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1212937%3ABlogPost%3A16016

Hope you can get it that way.

just checked the settings and it was already set so everyone could see my blogs, but I re-selected it just in case that would make a difference. Other than that i don't know why you cant see them. When i go to my own page it is there on my blog wall?

Perhaps try accessing it through the archives...i posted it on dec 20th at about 5 o clock.

Sorry for the hassle Matt...i don't know why it is happening...it is definitely there!?

cheers

Hi Matt.
When i go onto my own page it is there in the blog section titled 'Capturing Cardiff - Cardiff City's New Stadium. Sit Down Shut Up?', so I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to see it.

Hope you are able to find it

Cheers

Chris
