Aggregated Citizen News Network (ACNN)

Ideas:

  • centralized domain name
  • subdomains used for new disasters, locations, etc (need to standardize)
  • design accompanies mainstream media sources (streaming video, audio, feeds), as well as a standardized method of streaming our own types of content
  • process of organizing task-force teams should be documented including how to grant access to publish

    • podcasters
    • google maps mashup experts
    • writers
    • photographers
    • programmers (doesn't matter the expertise, it would be used)
