The Big Picture for OneWebDay
September 11th, 2006 | by onewebday | Published in Uncategorized | 4 Comments
Many of you have been asking “So what should I do on OneWebDay?” Here’s the one thing we’d like you to do.
We’d like you to go to webshots.com and upload a picture that’s meaningful to you (you’ll have to register to upload, but it’s simple). Attach the keyword ‘onewebday’ (without the quote marks) to the picture.
That’s it. With all of these pictures, we’ll be able to create a giant, zoomable big picture.
Here’s why we’d like to encourage people around the world to do this: we make progress when we see things. When people around the globe can “see” the web, we’ll think about how the web helps humans to work together and how much it means to us. This big picture is a way of seeing the web as the human space that it is, seeing it whole, and seeing it as a story rather than as a network diagram made up of machines.
So – leave a little piece of yourself online for OneWebDay. Post a picture at webshots.com, attach the keyword ‘onewebday’, and you’ll be part of it all.
And – if there’s an in-person celebration near you, you should go! The list is here.

I’ll post a picture on web shots, but I’m also going to post a picture on Flickr and geotag it. And since Flickr isn’t such a good global mapper, I think I’ll try another geotag sourcelet like Panaramio too.
