Hello crew,

This is Anthony, the curator of the profile section.

To address Monday's evening requirements for today:

a) Title: Profiles (Don't really have a technical or snazzy term for this yet.)

b) Purpose: To identify how Americans from all socioeconomic backgrounds will cope with the switch. The section will focus mainly on preparation for the switch.

c) The elements/stories/media features:
Since my topic is so marginalized I can't see it stretching beyond personal profiles. I don't know who plans to talk to electronic stores, but I could also profile a Radio Shack store in the midst of the change. I'll be including print, video and photos I assume.


WEB DESIGN:
I'm against using Flash. Exclusively used, it's terrible for navigating a Website and it's downright frustrating in the user-friendly world of APPLE and NINTENDO. If we operate with some Flash, I hope it's seldom and mostly relegated to photo galleries.

If we were formulating a package with longer shelf life like the Road of Dreams package sampled by Rick, I would understand the use of flash. But this story is so news-now apparent that flash would drag down the overall production and relevance of the site.

Thanks dawgs,

--Anthony
