[nettime-see] Re: Nettime-SEE Digest, Vol 23, Issue 2


Dragi Zeljko & ostali ljudi & zene na listi,
zelim da vas sve pozovem da posetite www.videoletters.net sajt koji je
upravo pusten u pogon kao sastavni deo projekta Videoletters. Cilj sajta je
da se stvori virtuelna zajednica ljudi koji bi zeleli da razgovaraju ne samo
o ex-yu proslosti vec i o buducnosti regiona, ma koliko svi zeleli da od nje
pobegnemo. Zapravo, osnovna poenta sajta je da se ljudi koji mogu da
razumeju 'dobardanski' ponovo negde susrecu bez problema viza i granica.
Ja vas sve pozivam da se prosetate malo po sajtu i pridruzite nam se nakon
registracije. Na sajtu cete naci detaljnija objasnjenja o samim funkcijama,
ali za sada samo da spomenem da cete moci napraviti svoju prezentaciju/svoj
profil, povezivati se sa ostalim ljudima registrovanim na sajtu, postavljati
svoje fotke, pisati price, pisati blog, mozda poslati svoje video-pismo i
pretrazivati bazu ljudi kako biste mozda pronasli nekoga koga ste nekada
poznavali... Jako bi nas radovalo kada bi diskusija o samim epizodama
zazivela i na sajtu.
Puno pozdrava i nadam se da se vidimo online!

> World premiere on April 2 of a unique documentary series allowing former

> Busses equipped with internet connections and webcams will travel

> Vlada lives in Belgrade and Ivica in Zagreb. They used to spend the

> Serbs and Croats in the 1990s.
> A comprehensive reconciliation project

> Next to the simultaneous broadcast in all countries from the Former

> A special internet site will also be launched enabling people to post

> A special helpline for people experiencing strong emotions or traumas
