The easier it is to capture and crop, the more likely people will comment - or in my case, lay out for other people to comment! - on things that they've captured.<br /><br />In the first interview, I did ponder whether to replace some of the transcript with the short clips of video, but in the end left the words in tact underneath for eyeballs (and Google) to read.Alan in Belfast (Alan Meban)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04647690758839987063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-73077315086699832252009-11-04T22:53:19.432+00:002009-11-04T22:53:19.432+00:00Interesting comment about video becoming more and ...Interesting comment about video becoming more and more a feature of blogging - I'd be disappointed if it did. I like the way I can generally ignore the videos in AiB, because usually I'm reading them where I can't listen to video.<br /><br />But more fundamentally, I read a blog for the blogger's opinions and reaction to what's happening & what people are saying; very much less so to hear the words from the horse's mouth, as it were ...Niallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828060814577189092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-90207358965098281932009-11-04T17:37:33.420+00:002009-11-04T17:37:33.420+00:00Jonny - it's funny because this all started be...Jonny - it's funny because this all started before last Christmas when I was curious about the effect of Titanic Quarter on East Belfast. It always bothered me that there was an enormous "gated community" being built on the otherside of the flyovers that might never actually see Pitt Park, or realise they could buy milk on the Newtownards Road.<br /><br />I'd dreamt up a partial list of folk (not political) to do a few email interviews with.<br /><br />But it fell apart, I got distracted, and when the idea re-emerged, it was on the back of public engagement with politics. But I still wondered did normal folks like me know what the parties thought about such fundamental issues to the area.<br /><br />Happy to have a chat about what the folks say - though I doubt there will be too much that you haven't already heard!Alan in Belfast (Alan Meban)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04647690758839987063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-35495713697617203962009-11-04T16:58:58.672+00:002009-11-04T16:58:58.672+00:00Alan

Building community capacity in East is one of our aims and subsequently the capacity and desire of groups to influence elected representatives and change policy.<br /><br />Can we tap into your findings in some way?Jonnyhttp://www.scrabopower.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
