And now for something completely different. Three years ago I, and some of my classmates from North began organizing a 50th reunion celebration. None of us in 1956 in our wildest dreams had any conception of "the Web". The organizing committee never met face to face. All of our deliberations and plans were made using telephone conferencing. I found a site in Canada that provided on-line templates for reunion planning. The site was interactive in some respects. We developed the site and notified our classmates by email. We also used the web extensively to locate "lost" classmates. Using video tapes and stills from the four day event, we produced a DVD using iDVD, iTunes and iMovie. We also produced a CD of the top twenty five hits for 1956 and burned copies for everyone. We contracted the site for five years.
None of us had every heard of social networking or web 2.0, but here we were using early versions of what now are ubiquitous examples of the web as a work platform. Take a look at the site; you may have a reunion coming up.
