Liverpool lives, 06.10.11

On Thursday 6th October Hurricane Films delivered a short talk about their new website Liverpool Lives on http://www.peoples-stories.com/.

'People's Stories: Liverpool Lives' is a web-based community reminiscence project. People can submit their stories, images and footage of Liverpool throughout the years on the website.' - Hurricane Films, http://www.blogspot.com/

During this talk, Hurricane Films posed the question:
How can you engage an online audience in storytelling? – How do you encourage users, especially those from an older generation to participate?
I felt that this question could prove difficult to answer as there are many varied opinions for example, what is classed as the 'older generation'. Do the 'older generation' use computers and the internet or not? Is there anything that can be done to improve the online services for the 'older generation' and so on. A lot of research would be needed to start to pull together an accurate and meaningfull answer.
