Weblog

After so many posts in german language, now something in english. Have you ever heard of an IBSN?
The idea is to identify blogs. IBSN means International Blog Serial Number and is a project from a Spanish group.
The IBSN was born on February 2nd, 2006, as an answer to the Spanish administration's negative to grant an ISSN to Internet blogs.

The IBSN is a 10 digit number that is supposed to uniquely identify each blog.
I think it is a good idea!
My IBSN is 08-15-4711-42.

In our projects we try to teach show people to express themselves trough talking, learning, teaching, writing, taking pictures, painting, etc.
The blogging experiment at machm-it.org is interesting because a lot of the people want to write something, but they are sitting in front of the empty form thinking about *what do I write in my blog*.
In the youth club Jugendclub 83 in Wolfen, we installed Susi (a HP Ipaq) as a possibility to blog something.
Now a lot of pictures are posted by the young people to the susi blog

In another project, we try to reduce violence bringing russian migrants together with german people
