Social Networking for Urban Planning
Project Name and URL:
Web 2.0 for Urban Planning
Location & Creator/Author Organisation:
Crystal Wilson
Media and how it is used:
the author, Wilson promotes a social networking achieved through multimedia and vision sharing.
Points reflecting on its success:
Social networking alters our perception of space, not geographically but through communication, our distance has reduced to the minimal. This also results in a new way of interpreting urban landscapes. Our travels no longer need to be steps taken across a path but instead stretching the mind to reach new territory. This not only benefit isolated communities but also provided new grounds for new business service.

Take me 2 Japan. Published on the 12th of February 2009. 4:55pm.

Media and how it is used:
The article gives a general critique of social media in its ability to exchange information, sharing and discussing information among human beings. Specifically this article focus on the Japanese Social Media scene. Highlighting its diversity yet its isolation due to language and cultural barriers.
Points reflecting on its success:
- It is interesting to note advertising on the internet in Japan is not as prominent. Advertising in Japan is still experiencing major growth, TV still remain as the major media. This is worth investigating as the social life of the new generation change, the community often want information fast and whenever suitable. The age of waiting for TV shows is on decline, causing the thriving development of online communication through social media. Japanese social media scene includes international favourites such as twitter, yahoo, also countless japanese specific forums, wiki, media exchange sites. Seen from the chart above. Japanese may only cater specifically to its national language but its social media certainly does not lack a range.

Political Mobbing
Project Name and URL:
Indian Students Protest –May31st 2009 - http://www.theage.com.au/national/indian-anger-boils-over-20090531-brrm.html
Location & Creator/Author Organisation:
Flinders Street Station - Federation of Indian Students of Australia
Media and how it is used:
This is a simple obstruction and media coverage strategy. 2000 people flooded Flinders Street Station in support of one cause however as tensions flared, Flinders Street Station itself became an object of attack. Violence as well as the sheer number of people attracted media attention.
Points reflecting on its success:
Its effect was definitely a short one and although this issue still remains in mainstream media, not enough has been done to continue to place this issue at the forefront of daily coverage.
