What is Project 2996 Doing for the 11th Anniversary?

The 11th Anniversary of September 11th is now less than a month away, what Project 2996 is doing to honor of this?

First of all, we‘re continuing to pursue our goal of at least one onling tribute foreach and every September 11th victim (curently around 1300 tibutes are needed)

Secondly, we‘re pleased to announce a Project 2996 Group Board on Pinterest, where there will be pins for all of the victims.

Why a Group Board on Pinterest?

Pinterest has seen a lot of growth in the last year or so with reports that Pinterest Drives more refferal traffic than LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+

Pinterest is very visual in nature. Pinterest users create virtual boards where they pin items related to various themes. Pins always include a picture, drawing, or something visual.

Putting a face to all of the victims will help to humanize all of them, because they were all people.

We believe that this will be a fun and exciting project and are looking forward to watch it grow and take wings of it‘s own!

Introducing…

As you can quickly see, every pin puts a face to a victim.

As time goes by more and more of the 2996 victims will have pins on this board.

What Does a Pin Look Like?

On the left you can see that this is part of the „Project 2996“ board (notice the crest?)

Here is a picture of Michael L. Selves along with a description of his occupation

There is one comment below the pin with room for other comments

What is a Group Board?

A group board basically means that the creator of the board can invite others to pin along. We‘d like pinning to the Project 2996 board to be a group experience and welcome those that would like to pin along with us.

At the time that this presentation was put togehter there are currenty only two members in our group but we would certainly welcome anyone that has already posted a tribute or anyone else that would like to join us.

Group boards are fun because you aren‘t just limited to the resources of a single person.

With more and more people pinning, the group board gets more exposure, with more and more chances for pins to be noticed and for people to decide that they want to follow the board.

How Does This Affect Project 2996?

Our main objective is to encourage online tributes for all the September 11th victims.

Through our group board on Pinterest, we‘ll be able to put a face to all of the victims as well.

Pins will tell a little bit about the victim and in the comments that follow we‘ll be able to indicate if there is a Project 2996 tribute for them or not.

People can comment on the victims (especially have they have their own story to tell)

This group board should also bring some futher publicity to Project 2996.
