“friending” an experiment?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

An idea we are playing around with is doing some kind of online science show for GE – what is a good way to do some storytelling around what the scientists and engineers are up to, non-fiction.   I’m trying to work out something that is a more modern format though, instead of just shooting video and editing, I wonder if you would “friend” an experiment, in the social network sense, and if it would be compelling to follow along with science at its own pace.  as in, some experiments and progress may happen quickly, some may happen slowly.  Would it be fun in the long term to have a more ambient experience with a science “show”, if you followed along with it in a more documentary sense, using social media ?
