G+ Social Experiment #3 : The Story Of My Life

Ladies and gentleman, this is an experiment I have been working on for a while and Its my attempt at one of the biggest things in my life..And I need your help! In fact I ran a focus group with 50 people on this experiment to see if people would be interested and 91% of the focus group wanted to see this experiment run!

This experiment is a bit more complex then the last two.. But the results will create a true life diary of people on G+. Something like this has never been done on any social platform. My goal in this experiment is to bring real life in to social media. This experiment will not collect data; rather the participants will upload a video (up to 5 minutes in length max) on a shared social experiment YouTube channel set up for all of the participants to use. This experiment is also a test on Google’s new idea of cross platform introduction, the results will show if it’s possible to use two different Google properties to create an engagement.

The YouTube page made for this experiment already has a few actual G+ videos uploaded from the focus group to show the idea of what we want. This experiment will run for about 8 weeks. The End date is May 11, 2012. The experiment goal is to get 1,000 or more videos submitted. At the end of this experiment, with the help of a few video experts on G+, a movie will be made based on the submitted videos by G+ users and we will submit the final cut to the Independent Film Festival… So if you ever wanted to be in a movie or media, ever wanted to tell the world how you feel about hunger or talk about your favorite pet, this is your chance.. Please share this with as many people in your circle, so we can get a true image of the people on G+ and their life.

Here are the Guidelines to the Experiment:

Please make a video about something in your life. You don’t have to show your face, You can change your voice. In fact we ask that you don’t give your name. The video could be about your daily life, pets, your job (please no spam!), your relationship, the economy, the election, politics, your hobbies ( please no porn, no hate crimes and no violence!)… Anything that is important in your life. Please do not use copyrighted material. Be creative with your work.. The idea behind this experiment is not so much to match people and their story; but to get video ripples in social media.

We do ask you to please start your video with these words: “I am a Google + user and this is the story of my life…..”

Once you make this short video (up to 5 minutes max in length), please upload it to the social YouTube Channel that has been set up for all of the G+ experiment participants to use.
