The 11th Anniversary of September 11th is coming up. Project 2996 couldn't let this anniversary go by without doing something memorable. Have a look at the presentation to see what we have planned!

11th Anniversary of September 11th?

2. What is Project 2996 Doing for the 11th Anniversary?
The 11th Anniversary of September 11th is now less than a month away,
what Project 2996 is doing to honor of this?
First of all, we‘re continuing to pursue our goal of at least one onling tribute for
each and every September 11th victim (curently around 1300 tibutes are needed)
Secondly, we‘re pleased to announce a Project 2996 Group Board
on Pinterest, where there will be pins for all of the victims.

3. What is Project 2996?
On the left is the “about
Statement“ from the
Project 2996 web site

4. Why a Group Board on Pinterest?
Pinterest has seen a lot of growth in the last year or so with reports that
Pinterest Drives more refferal traffic than LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+
Pinterest is very visual in nature. Pinterest users create virtual boards where
they pin items related to various themes. Pins always include a picture,
drawing, or something visual.
Putting a face to all of the victims will help to humanize all of them, because
they were all people.
We believe that this will be a fun and exciting project and are looking forward to
watch it grow and take wings of it‘s own!

5. Introducing…
As you can quickly
see, every pin puts
a face to a victim.
As time goes by
more and more of
the 2996 victims will
have pins on this
board.

6. What Does a Pin Look Like?
On the left you can
see that this is part
of the „Project
2996“ board
(notice the crest?)

for other comments

7. What is a Group Board?
A group board basically means that the creator of the board can invite others to pin
along. We‘d like pinning to the Project 2996 board to be a group experience and
welcome those that would like to pin along with us.
At the time that this presentation was put togehter there are currenty only two
members in our group but we would certainly welcome anyone that has already posted
a tribute or anyone else that would like to join us.
Group boards are fun because you aren‘t just limited to the resources of a single
person.
With more and more people pinning, the group board gets more exposure, with more
and more chances for pins to be noticed and for people to decide that they want to
follow the board.

8. How Does This Affect Project 2996?
Our main objective is to encourage online tributes for all the September 11th victims.
Through our group board on Pinterest, we‘ll be able to put a face to all of the victims as
well.
Pins will tell a little bit about the victim and in the comments that follow we‘ll be able to
indicate if there is a Project 2996 tribute for them or not.
People can comment on the victims (especially have they have their own story to tell)
This group board should also bring some futher publicity to Project 2996.

And don‘t forget that we still need roughly 1300 more tributes to reach
our goal of a ‚real‘ online tribute for every victim by a ‚real‘ person

11. We Remember (a.k.a. The List)
