| [nettime-see] Re: Nettime-SEE Digest, Vol 23, Issue 2 |
Dragi Zeljko & ostali ljudi & zene na listi, zelim da vas sve pozovem da posetite www.videoletters.net sajt koji je upravo pusten u pogon kao sastavni deo projekta Videoletters. Cilj sajta je da se stvori virtuelna zajednica ljudi koji bi zeleli da razgovaraju ne samo o ex-yu proslosti vec i o buducnosti regiona, ma koliko svi zeleli da od nje pobegnemo. Zapravo, osnovna poenta sajta je da se ljudi koji mogu da razumeju 'dobardanski' ponovo negde susrecu bez problema viza i granica. Ja vas sve pozivam da se prosetate malo po sajtu i pridruzite nam se nakon registracije. Na sajtu cete naci detaljnija objasnjenja o samim funkcijama, ali za sada samo da spomenem da cete moci napraviti svoju prezentaciju/svoj profil, povezivati se sa ostalim ljudima registrovanim na sajtu, postavljati svoje fotke, pisati price, pisati blog, mozda poslati svoje video-pismo i pretrazivati bazu ljudi kako biste mozda pronasli nekoga koga ste nekada poznavali... Jako bi nas radovalo kada bi diskusija o samim epizodama zazivela i na sajtu. Puno pozdrava i nadam se da se vidimo online!
