To love what you do and feel that it matters—how could anything be more fun?

Project Blog:
Echo
This public art and civic journalism project will produce and collect stories tied to physical locations throughout Atlanta. Signs with Echo phone number and location ID will invite pedestrians and cyclists to access a story about that site via cell phone, podcast or the Web. “When a space becomes inscribed with cultural or personal stories, it transforms into a place of significance,” said project leaders Lila King and Karyn Lu, movers behind CNN’s user-generated site iReport.com.

That’s a great idea!  Sometimes, I find myself wondering about a dent in a pole or an old building and would like to know what happened there.  I can’t believe that no one has put this into practice before.  Congratulations!  I look forward to seeing your project come to life.
