They will then be manually approved – nothing too off topic I presume, like “Hello Mum” – and the shouts will then be fed into an iPhone app which The MegaMouth uses on his wrist-mounted iPhone. Each time he hits a “shouted” button, a tweet will be generated to inform the crowd of what he’s been shouting (probably because they won’t hear either). The main video footage will be encoded and uploaded in chunks using Tumblr and Vimeo, embedding it into the ActionAid site in one move. This will be supplemented by live streamed footage from a Nokia N95 using Qik – again, embedded directly into the ActionAid site, and generating automated tweets as it does so, as anyone who’s used Qik would know. How’s about that then? Protest 2.0 huh." — *eyes spin* Phew! G20 crowdsourcing twitter socialmedia activism protest economics [...]
