In particular, using Google docs and chat will allow your group to write posts collaboratively if you choose to move in this direction.
In other words, it allows you to share the editorial responsibilities as well as the writing responsibilities. Does that help?
Analyzing your traffic is a great habit to get it into. It will allow you to experiment with different promotional strategies and easily check to see if those strategies seem to be working.
Recruiting people with different skills is advisable. Communities are formed around people with varying strengths. This also creates a solid foundation for continued learning.
One addition that I might make is to include a link to an example of how a collaborative blog might work. For example, link to the Professor Hacker article I shared with you.
This is good. You might be able to polish this just a bit. Think about how your passion can inspire your recruitment of others. Try to choose words that will both embody your passion and be accessible to your readers. You're very close to this already.
You've really captured the idea of the 5 Sentence steps. Your sentences stand on their on merit and your descriptions only reinforce your ideas.
I think the area for the greatest improvement is in Step #4. The blog will not do this alone. Think about other avenues that can be used to spread your idea. In other words, integrate other forms of media into your idea, or at least open the door to this in your proposal.
In the future, I'd like all project work to be presented in the blog. The Diigo sticky notes work awkwardly in Diigo. This is not your error, but it's a change I want to make for feedback purposes.
Rework this to explain your personal goal. Is the show really your goal, or is it the acquisition of certain skills?
Use the drumbeat process to really dig into your project. It should be more than basic description.
1b: Use your evaluation of what exists to inform your project. How are these programs created? What stylistic elements exist? What audiences are sought?
Also, are there communities devoted to this topic that already exist? Can you add your voice to that existing community instead of creating a new community?
1c: You might have a solid idea here. How do college students cook differently than other audiences? Is there a way to tailor your approach to this specific audience in order to offer something that does not exist?
Do college students, particularly in dorms, have access to different equipment? Can you make these differences a signature for your program?
Section 2: Use the five sentences to really summarize your project for your audience and collaborators. See the examples provided on the Drumbeat blog entry.
Don't bury your lead. The third sentence is really heart of your project. Lead with that one, then build out of that sentence to explain your project.
You, like some other folks doing video projects, might want to consider doing this step twice. One time should focus on your process and production planning. The other should focus on selling your idea in a way that might be presented on a one or two page flyer.
If you punch up this section, then you'll have something to show folks and encourage them to help. It seems like you still have a long way to go with your project and you'll need some hands along the way.
Some folks working with video might even want to consider combining efforts so you can learn from one another. The production skills are the same regardless of the content so if your primary goal is to acquire these skills then figure out a way to make this manageable.
Creating a message that is personally tailorable is a solid idea; however, you also want to be certain that you remain focused so your message remains coherent.
Social media is by definition social, which means it involves sharing. More importantly, it's not just the author who shares but the audience as well. Make sure that you create some level of openness so you can cultivate content from your readers or can interact with them directly.
Solid, aside from a few minor grammatical issues. Contributors are a "their" rather than an "its." There should also be a comma between "content" and "which."
In some respects, your concept reminds me of a social media version of "Around the Horn." The biggest difference is that you guys capture the "mass amateurization" aspect discussed in the Shirky book.
Extend by acknowledging that this multimedia approach allows users multiple entry points and encourages the spread of your content. I might suggest looking at Henry Jenkins' work on the concept of spreadability.
I see the aspects developed by one member of this group, but the aspects we discussed for the other group members do not seem to be integrated into this prototype yet. Developing certain areas of content for all collaborators is a necessary next step.
