so far... starting point

http://blip.tv/file/1224803/

the real video will be properly timed etc this is just so that it uploads faster so you 2 can view it...

it plays fast so just pause it to read each part.

the viewers will follow along with the cursor as the moves to explain the fuctions etc.

let me no if im on the right track. Ive been messing around ith it for hours and it will change from this but i thought that a few of the ideas i thought might work were the colors...maybe tried to explain it.

have a few questions like should i make up a conversation between the main guy one of the others? what info do you want me to put when one of the "friends" is clicked on?

Hi Mark-
I think that looks like a good start. I like how you've distinguished the relationships between people while they are on the screen on the same time.

My only comments are that it would be good to try to keep the graphics pretty clean - Maybe slightly smaller bubbles, smaller text, and a neutral background.

I definitely would decrease the size of the text to be more similar to the size you would see on bebo, and add some more content to make it appear like a bebo listing.

I think it's a great start though.

Sweet, this is pretty much what I thought, that we needed to make it look a little more like bebo, and keep it as simple as we can and very clean. The screen size for the movie was quite small, and I am assuming with a bigger "screen" size, it will be easier to get in a lot more information, and good sized text

also-
have a look at the information aesthetics website I sent the other day. There are some really beautiful diagrams of information there.

These are two that I thought were very nice in being clean and simple, but portray a lot of information.

Lisa, I'll comment on your post shortly. Sorry I've been running around all day.
