IDAT210 - The project

So after rethinking my strategy for my project I decided that the project would be similar to the original idea, but also more meaningful.  The sound that is created through the project should be live updating to demonstrate some kind of performance, and will be generated through comments that people make on a Facebook page.  The people who provide the data will not be told specifically what the project is about, or what to write in the hope that they will decide for themselves and create some kind of conversation out of it.  By allowing this to happen the project will comment on the ways in which social networking can create good communication out of a lack of communication. 
In terms of the audio produced this will be built to provide the 'sound of social networking' based on the length of words written by people.  When posts are added the music will be changed accordingly to ensure the updating element.  This project will be built using Flash and the information will be retrieved using RSS.
