agoraphone

Kelly Dobson, one of my labmates has this great project called Agoraphone that is up and running outside of the Lab. The basic idea is that you can call it and speak to a public forum, expressing things that you might not express in private. The people in the public space can respond to you while the anonymity is maintained. It’s fabulous, and so related to the kind of storytelling that V-Day encourages people to do, to start expressing their ideas, concerns and depression. If you want, give it a call (617-253-6237) or stop by the Media Lab to check it out (daytime only; it’s in the grass across the courtyard).
