J on (his) Occupy Bournemouth:
- lack of awareness
- some negative reactions from students
- playing the media game?
- online presences (Occupy Bournemouth/Occupy Boscombe)
- ad-hoc approach
- little coherence
- attempt to establish dialogue
- attempt to be part of the bigger occupy network (without having their own objectives/aims)
- seeking (but failing to maintain) media attention
- no single voice
- internal fractures
- organized like an NGO
- replicated corporate website models
- emphasis on mission/vision
- transparency
- clear messaging
own media
integration
consistency
control
- 24 discussion with 83 recorded replies
- 51 comments on the wall (6 video embeds, 2 photos, 24 links mainly to occupy related facebook pages/groups, sites, media, conferences, books, events)
Groups that are better organized do better.
Groups with clearer messages are listened more.
Online forums, if not specific fail to maintain momentum (or at least what we see).
