6. Describe the proposed project as clearly as possible in five sentences or less
| As an author I am always saving web links, CC images, tweets, videos into my text editor or similar. I propose to develop a “deep pool”, where any of us can save all of the resources that we find surfing the web into a globalized repository. It will be possible to separate the resources for an especific post and even share them with the community. It will be possible, also to create a profile getting data from GV wordpress database so it may be more personalized |
