It's interesting to see what matters most to people if they are limited to say, 180 characters?
is a project by blogger, . He's creating a movie about the changing nature of technology and what matters to us most.
"We need your help. We're making a film and we need to know what matters to you. So, we've just launched and we're keen to get 1000 entries as fast as possible. Please spread the word :) We know you all have great ideas and lots to say... and we look forward to hearing your entries. Go on. What are you waiting for?"
As school begins again in the next few days, wouldn't this be a great project for students of all ages? If you prefer for your students not to contribute right on the site, you can always create your own similar project. This can be done on a educational microblogging site like , a , , or just on pieces of paper and hang them on a bulletin board in your room!

Glad you stopped by! I hope they make it to 1000.
It's simple. Storytelling is broken online. We've fixed it.
Here are some of the highlights:
Heekya is the Wikpedia of Stories, a social storytelling platform that is changing the way consumers create, share, and discover stories. Free. Fun. Easy. 60 seconds. See it here: http://heekya.com/preview.php
What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) drag and drop story editor. Import all media (photo, video, text, and audio) from third party services (Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, etc.)
Users grab and embed Heekya story widget across social networks (Facebook, MySpace, et. al) blogs (wordpress, blogger, twitter) personal websites and via e-mail and instant message.
Ability to re-mix and mashup other stories, retelling them from a consumers own vantage point, that will keep user engagement levels high and attract more traffic virally, as people share and re-share stories.
Storytelling is at the core of human existence. We're building Heekya to unlock powerful stories of people all over the world and empower them to share their story with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
