Completing the feedback loop.

Great presentation today.

I was taking some notes on the pitch, particularly during the feedback session.

• Publication: The Verge
• An American based publication creates some challenges with cultural nuances. For example, the Kendrick Monk/Nick Darcy scandal would be unfamiliar to primarily American audience. 
• I have some experience with American society and American publications after living in the US in 2011. 
• "The Verge seems very tech-based"I agree, however i argue the home page is particularly tech-based at the moment. When you look through past features, there have been more cultural features that comment on trends in society.
• Content:
• The content of the feature is relevant and interesting. The rise of visual media on the Internet was agreed to be current and noticeable.
• The feature is newsworthy and an opportunity to document reflections on the impact of our current times. 

• Logistics:
• Some questions were raised about the access to 'mummy bloggers' and the impact on their children. We will need to talk about this.
• A question was asked about who we could speak to about the impact of the visual web on social construction and online identity. I know we had some rough names of USYD academics, we should do a bit more research. 
• How are we going to control the web profile being current. 

• Suggestions:
• A how-to guide: I don't this was the angle we were going for. It's more recording the change and the impact of the change.

That's what i took. Add comments or thoughts you had.

Thanks Ash and Anna for presenting the pitch.
