Only the very best #hope - s of that day are answered with physical objects. These objects erupt from the island volcano, floating upward and spread, settling across Venice.<br />The Island of Hope is viewed on supported <a href="http://theislandofhope.blogspot.com/p/how-to-see-it-w-layar.html">smart-phones.</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">::::: PARTICIPATE :::::</span> <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://theislandofhope.blogspot.com/p/about.html">MORE</a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">::::: MAY 31st - JUNE 12th [interactive]</span><br />***the work is currently not activate but will be with a new release- soon!<br /><br />Users may try to <a href="http://theislandofhope.blogspot.com/p/about.html">participate</a> by adding the <a href="http://twitter.pbworks.com/w/page/1779812/Hashtags">hashtag</a> to the word "hope" = <span style="font-weight: bold;">#hope</span> in their tweets.<br /><div> Lucky #hope tweeters may actually have their hopes answered and receive the thing of their desire. <a href="http://theislandofhope.blogspot.com/p/map.html">***</a><br />If the #hope tweets <a href="http://theislandofhope.blogspot.com/p/about.html">location is turned on</a> the object will float to the location [that can be where you are!!!].<br />Tweeting users should hope for something interesting.<br /><a href="http://hopetovenice.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/family_computer2.jpg"><img style="width: 286px; height: 190px;" alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20" src="http://hopetovenice.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/family_computer2.jpg" title="family using laptop" /></a><br />Home users can send hopeful tweets.<br />***<span style="font-style: italic;">Due to the incredible success of the project only a small portion of the tweets will be transformed into objects hoped for.
