Interactive 2012 - Ideas: Page 1
Live visual blogging is not video; it is a text-graphic feed which accompanies, complements and illuminates a video feed (or some other re-presentation of a live event, like audio coverage, or even the event itself, face-to-face in the same location). For the last four years, graphic artists did live visual blogging on paper for the SXSW keynotes. This panel explores live visual blogging using computers, both for the web as well as on a big screen in front of an audience.

Explore.org founder Charlie Annenberg Weingarten, who’s also Director of the Annenberg Foundation, challenged the interactive community from the floor of the SXSW convention center, saying Explore.org will donate up to $100,000 to the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation. Its dog rescue team is on its way to Japan to help with earthquake search and rescue operations. “Search and rescue dogs are a critical resource for emergency situations” says Weingarten. “There are many bootstrapped start-ups down here in Austin and plenty of people across America who want to help Japan in some way but don’t have the resources; we’re giving those people a chance to support with a simple social action” As you read this, victims of the tragic earthquake in Japan are waiting to be rescued under piles of rubble. Here’s a way for you to help them, and you barely have to lift a finger.
