The game features Joseph a sixteen-years-old caught up in the Ugandan civil war, separated from his family, hungry and alone in a camp overflowing with thousands forced to flee, Joseph is desperately seeking his mother. But he needs your help… Registration will open on Sunday 28th but until then there’s a teaser page at www.tracesofhope.com and a teaser video at http://www.vimeo.com/1811645 We’d really appreciate a link to the game or any coverage you could provide. Any questions please let me know, Thanks Alex Hi,

]]> Comment on Empathetic and Participatory rather than Objectively Distanced: Telling Social Media Brand Stories by Michael Margolis http://iamusergenerated.com/2007/12/12/empathetic-and-participatory-rather-than-objectively-distanced-telling-social-media-brand-stories/#comment-2 Michael Margolis Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:05:06 +0000 http://iamusergenerated.com/2008/01/14/empathetic-and-participatory-rather-than-objectively-distanced-telling-social-media-brand-stories/#comment-2 Fabulous post James! Your spot on about the way that web 2.0 democratizes the brand storytelling process. There's the "official" brand story the company puts out, and then there's the real story of how people actually perceive you. This gap will increasingly define what organizations succeed and which don't, in maintaining a vibrant relationship with their customers, members, and other constituents. Thanks for exploring these ideas through this project! Michael, President, THIRSTY-FISH www.thirsty-fish.com www.popanthropology.com Fabulous post James!
