Tuesday 19 January 2010: Together again

The response to the Blip Together project has been incredible so far - it's coming together really well. With four days of blipping still to go, we already have hundreds of images from every corner of the globe.

If you haven't joined in yet, please do and ask your friends to sign up. It's easy to take part and the results are going to be something very special.

Speaking of results, keep an eye on the Blipblog on Friday for a link to the software we promised you (which is looking very, very cool, by the way).

We're just back from confirming the details of the Edinburgh event with our host, Mark (pictured). You're are all invited along and welcome to bring your friends, family (kids welcome) and even your bliptogether subjects - the more the merrier.

The event is at Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh, from 6-8pm this coming Saturday.

Inspace is part of the brand-new University of Edinburgh Informatics building next to Bristo Square. It's on the corner of Crichton Street and Potterrow, directly opposite the Mosque. Click here for a Google Streetview of the entrance.

Once we've all been kicked out and the doors locked, the exhibition will continue through the night, back-projected onto seven huge windows overlooking Potterrow.

(If you are planning to come along, please leave a comment below to let us know - it'd be really useful to have a rough idea of numbers beforehand.)

If you're unable to make it to our local event, we'll be broadcasting a live video feed to the web via Bambuser. We'll send a message out to everyone on Saturday with a direct link to the feed, so keep an eye on your notifications.

If you're planning an event of your own on Saturday (even if it's just a few friends around for dinner) please go and create a new thread in the Blip meet-ups forum so we all know about it. If you're willing to broadcast a live video feed via Bambuser, send us the details and we'll do our best to get it up on a big screen here in Edinburgh.

That's it - we hope to see you on Saturday, in person or online!



P.S. - Blip Of The Week will be back next week, and will include entries upload last week. Keep those suggestions coming in.

    ~ ColinCampbell

    ~ sheilaM

29. Cousteau and I will be there in spirit. Alas, a tad too far for us to actually come. All the best. I hope it's a blast.
    
    We're not even a little bit jealous ...

    ~ Barking

30. Me too. Plus one.

    ~ dt

31. Looks like you'd better get another bottle of sherry in. I can't make it from Spain, but I will be there in spirit (cava actually) and I've invited some friends round for the evening. I will download the software on Friday both on my computer and my friends laptop (is that going to be o.k.?) so we can link up on Saturday. I'd love to be able to shout hello to you all. No idea how to. I could Skype. Suggestions????

    ~ Sollergirl

32. Getting piped in would be fantastic! Think you should take ColinCampbell's offer up on that one! Me & The Dog will be there for sure - just the 2 of us. Hopefully there will be a bit of pintage afterwards somewhere?! xxxxxx

    ~ Family_Dog

33. Sollergirl - of course it's fine to download as many copies as you like! Take a look at Bambuser, it's really easy to use and all you need is a webcam. Would be great to have you up on screen!

    ~ Joe

34. I hope to be there with Wife & Child

    ~ Silverback

35. I plan to be there, and drag MrsCyclops along...

    ~ cyclops

36. when I search 'bliptogether' to have a look at all of the entries, mine doesn't pop up....I've tagged it bliptogether and I've named it bliptogether....Hmmm. Has it been cut?! Will keep checking. x

    ~ Family_Dog

37. I should be there (might have to nip off sharpish as we've got people round later).

    ~ Trev

38. Family - the search engine box only shows a fixed number of images - you just fallen off the end but you'll be in the final mix.

    ~ G

39. Shame I live in North Wales, at least I can catch it online and see who I'm holding hands with - a nice young lady would be great ;-)

    ~ Chrispybee

40. I hope to be there and will try to bring the husband along.

    ~ photojennic

41. What about making the Bliptogether an annual or biannual event, great way to cheer up and look forward to January and then maybe have a summer one (reverse for those in the southern hemisphere)?
    
    Could change it occasionally, ie backward blips, blip with headgear of some sort, everyone wearing red, with a stuffed animal, (sorry going off on one now), blip our camera etc.

    ~ annekingston

42. I'll be there - can't wait!

    ~ Pingirl

43. May just pop along!

    ~ freshfish

44. I should make it along.

    ~ parsfan

45. should be 3 of us

    ~ Anonymoose

46. Would love to be there with you but, as Barking says, it's just a tad too far......plus the taxi fare home again would be gi-normous!!
    
    Will be there in spirit and, if the electrics allow, will pop in via bambuser too.
    
    Have a ball everyone :)

    ~ twigs

47. In case it's not to late and critical for numbers.... we're 90% sure to be there (subject to traffic and children's behaviour...) And there're 4 of us.

    ~ SooB

48. I would love to be there but dont think I will manage!
    will have you all streamed in tho!!!
    have a fabulous night
    

    ~ wonderfullife

49. I will see you there!

    ~ darcie

50. Sorry blii guys, I'm going to have to knock it on the head - not feeling the best. I hipe you have a great night.

    ~ ColinCampbell

51. I am so pleased for you guys, you started off with this site and now it is the best thing since sliced bread.
    
    I loved the "bliptogether" and watching it as a slide show with Eric and my boys, we loved it, just wished we could have been there.
    
    Thankyou Joe and all the blip crew you are amazing, Tracey x

    ~ traceyflowerpot

52. like the previous blipblog, i'm drawn to the crotch area again - not "sticky fingers" by the stones this time - more bille holiday's "darn that dream"
