So we had a look at what worked and what didn’t. Submissions were as fantastic as we could hope for – problem was, it was easy to get depressed, so we thought ‘why not let people share their best five minutes‘ too.
Then we looked at how the site was growing with each entry, so now each entry is its own page; a page you can bookmark from your Facebook, Twitter,, Reddit, StumbleUpon – in fact, loads of ways to share your interesting discoveries (and maybe your own submissions).
We’ve sent a travelling journal on its way too – a book, being passed from person to person, so people can write, draw, whatver they can think of. Time is precious and that’s what we’re learning with the five minutes project. Less emotional porn and more insight into the true human value of time. When that journal returns (whenever that may be) we’ll share it with you. In the meanwhile, for anyone who feel they’d rather tell us what their best five minutes are, or what they’d do if they only had five minutes to live, you can upload a video from your computer or phone, or live through your webcam. So far, people have been shy. Let’s break the ice, start talking and let us really understand how precious time is to us.
