Methodsemployed.com invites visitors to list their own approaches to creative projects. Under the headline “Methods Employed or Otherwise Advised,” a prompt and text entry field urges participation, suggesting, “Please, add your own”. Upon typing a message and clicking “enter”, the visitor’s contribution is instantly added to the top of the list. Visitors were initially invited to the site via email and pre-existing social networking sites and within a week the 24 item list had tripled in length, and it continues to grow still. Site created with the generous help of Marcos Ojeda.
