Project 4

For the final project I decided to drop the watercooler idea, its not because it was a bad idea, it is because I don't have the Ideas and resources to create another 10 video blogs for the site. Creating the 1st 10 was hard enough.

For my next project (working together with Jeff's Idea) I decided to create a new site, a site where people come together and complain. Complain about their stupid lives, complain about surroundings, complain about anything you want. For the site I am planning to launch a show aswell that will be on the group portal site. This show will consist of Me and other people complaining about the most random stuff. Sounds fun? it sure will be

Updated WaterCooler

The way I integrated my Video Blogs to the site is that I have added a Video Section, as well as an Upload a Video to the business gossip section, giving people a chance to upload their own videos.

When a user clicks on the video section the blogs are divided into 4 sections, all 4 sections are clearly explained before the user clicks on them.

The videos uploaded very between explaining my thoughts on water cooler, behind the scenes, history as well as examples of user submitted blogs (Confession Section) and a couple of video tutorials letting people know how to upload their own content (tutorial section).

All videos on watercooler can be commented on and also discussed.

All videos are up

All 10 video blogs + 1 Podcast are up on my site now, The video blogs are split into 4 parts, all 4 parts have a separate RSS feed.

The Section Orientation are supposed to be these crazy slides giving people in depth information about watercooler.

The section Tutorials are so people can learn how to use the site.

the section Promotions are little videos promoting the site

The section confessions is a place for user submission, but I made 2 example blogs of what they should look like.

I think making these 10 blogs were really tough compared with what I had to work with, I really want to change the concept for my next site if it is all possible

YAY

I seem to have figured out how to upload video blogs to multiple pages on water cooler, so they are all nicely split up and easy to navigate. All blogs are under the videos section of the site.

update

An update on my video blogs, I decided to split them up into 4 different blog types on my website, they are:

Tutorials

Commentaries

Confessions

Promotions

They are all different types of blogs, and users are all free to upload to any blog they wish to, all the blogs will have a different theme to keep them fresh and interesting, I wanted to make sure they don't become repetitive.

I am just not too sure I will be able to get 10 done before Monday, it will take a maricle.

If only I picked a better site to do blogs on : (, I wish I had a time machine, I have 100's of ideas that would suit video blogs, next time I should read ahead...

Project 3 Concept

It was very hard to come up with a concept, since it is very hard to actually crate video blogs for my project 2 site. At the end I decided to create a missive ad campaign for my site as the video blogs. Trying to create a brand name for my site.

This idea also goes well with my gossip satire concept, the reason is because now days making gossip and reading gossip is glamorized by TV ads and media.

Almost Finished

The sit is almost finished, the address is: http://ozosil.com/watercool/

Just a recap that the site is a cultural Satire on people's hunger and obsession on hearing about gossip on people they never met, the site is driven on user generated content.
