SINGAPORE : The Feedback Unit is getting a group of 28 young
Singaporeans to help revamp its website.
They will conduct brainstorming and discussion sessions over the
next few months to get ideas on how to promote youth participation
in feedback activities.
They will also explore the use of new technologies and the
development of a youth community website.
The Singaporeans, aged 15 to 25 years old, have responded to the
Feedback Unit's call for help to make its website more usable and
user-centric.
They comprise mostly students, with a handful of working
adults.
Five are residing overseas.
Dubbed the 'Youth Panel', these youth volunteers are heavy Internet
and SMS users drawn from the Feedback Unit's People Forum
database.
New features in the website will include using SMS to give
feedback, dedicated community webpage for youths and Mobile blog or
Weblog.
Feedback Unit says this is the first time it is forming a youth
panel to help generate new ideas for its revamped website. -
