First NCPH conference, first THAT camp, so not sure what’s expected of ideas but here goes. I do social media for a living, and oral history in my spare time. I’m interested in talking about, playing with and experimenting with using social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, others?) to both collect and even more exciting, disseminate oral history interviews and artifacts using social media networks.

Let’s discuss how we can (or can we?) use social media to crowdsource subjects, collect stories (in a very public space) and disseminate them. What are the “informed consent” ramifications of collecting/disseminating in this space? What can-o-worms am I proposing we talk about here?

If the group decides to make time during this discussion, I’d love to see what others are doing (bring your laptops) or maybe we can create a social media space to experiment with.

I’ve got some ideas, would love to see what you’re doing/thinking/trying.
