The only cost incurred for the project is the host and domain name for the year. One Retweet will reevaluate it's needs after 6 months.

 The benefit to the community is enabling individuals to take action at the minimal level of retweeting a video that was made for the project. At the maximum level the project creates an environment for expression in written or creative form. It support individuals to think about how to bring Peace to the world. The reach is potentially global and can benefit the global village to think about the Peace process and act.
 |community relationship=The inspiration for the One Retweet Project came from social media projects I have worked on. Familiar with the process of running a campaign One Retweet began as an experiment to use this type of marketing to create a positive message.  The website is optimized to make sharing as easy clicking a button lowering the barriers of participation. My relationship with the community is simple, I am a member of it who regularly uses services like Twitter in my daily life.
 |measurement=To measure impact I can rely on the same sources as all websites do. There are many traffic tracking and analytic sites out there. They give information on what people click on, what pages they visit, comments, views, daily traffic to the site, how long people stay on the site (engagement), incoming links, outbound links etc. There will be more than enough data to go into great detail about the behaviors of individuals and the impact of the site.
 |participants=The potential for involvement is large if the campaign picks up steam. The goal for the project is for at least 75,000 views of the original video before the end of the year. This is based on an average of 25,000 views of the website a month for the last 6 months. This is probably a low estimate but a building successful social media campaign can take at least 3-4 months to hit full swing if starting from no influence ( the currency of the internet). The hope is as many people will participate in creating content as the project can grab.

 There is a potential here for a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of calls to actions in social media campaigns. We can answer the question if you only had to push a button, would you participate in social change? Can we lower the threshold to involvement through social media?

-Sustaining involvement will come from creating new materials for the campaign  and quality content for the blog. As well as actively networking with other campaigns and individuals with similar messages to create mutual support. Press outreach is also currently going on to brig more awareness of the Project.One Retweet seeks to become active in creating content and commenting on the works of others in the Creative Commons, Peace, and Activism Communities.

 |impact=The creation of content to disseminate on the social web in support of Peace is the heart of the project. Since all content will be under a Creative Commons license that allows for remix and adaption. This means that contributors can see their works be used for many cool purposes by those who support the Creative Commons Message. When the project is over the collection could be archived and curated, as well as made searchable so others can easily find and build upon the content.
 |tech needs=The current need for the project is simple, One Macbook Pro with the programs iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto. All of these programs come pre-installed on every Macbook. This is required to create better content that is smoother and more professional looking. The current programs on my PC are not proficient enough to create top quality content. The testament to personal skill is that materials for the website were made from freeware and pre-installed programs. The video was made in movie maker, audio created in Audacity, and MS paint to create the banner and other graphics the campaign currently uses. Imagine how much better the content could be with professional products with more capablity.
 |challenges=The greatest challenge is participation and having people find the website. Fortunately there is a proficiency in using Twitter and Blogging to drive traffic behind the project, so an early buzz is starting. A volunteer on the project is helping with creating a Press Kit and stake holders have already begun to be contacted. By reaching out to bloggers, journalists, and peace activists the project hopes to garner attention and participation. The other obstacle is generating content that people want to share. That is why One Retweet is reaching out to Creative Commons for the grant to get a laptop that can be used to create that content.

 |description=One Retweet is a global collective collaborating on creating content for Peace. It is a project that only uses Creative Commons licensed resources, because Peace is Priceless.  One Retweet promotes Creative Commons to facilitate the process of ideas mixing and mingling into real strategies to bring Peace to the world. Peace is an idea that belongs to no single person but to everyone and future generations. Every individual impacts the world and can change things in a tiny way, this is the message behind One Retweet.
