My Sticky Message

My Message
1. What is your sticky message? (Barabasi 3) What is the idea you wish to promote or issue/problem you want to try to 'solve'?

Warn young age elementary school kids that kidnap incidents happen frequently these days, and tell them to watch out when they are out on the streets alone.


Knowledge of social network.
2. Who is your strategic social group? Can you identify and define the organisational base you will need to develop and/ortap into?

Mainly kids aged 6- 12 will be my target. I will try to get access to some local elementary schools.


Strategy for network building.
3. How will work to create your organisational base? How will you spread and encourage others to take up your message?

Firstly, I will find out from my siblings (two of them are within my target area) what is popular among them in school. According to my younger sister (age 11), kids in her class use a social network site called Lively where they pick a cyber pet and use them to communicate with their friends' pets online. I can get my own account there and deviler my message (along with illustrations maybe) and make it like a chainmail. Also I can post the message on the Lively board.
