Shake The World is an interactive, not-for-profit documentary that will showcase simultaneous events taking place all around the world at the exact same time.

You might be wondering how they’re gonna do that… On April 11th, 2009, at 4PM Pacific Time, they’re inviting anyone and everyone to record something (yourself, your dog, your girlfriend, your surroundings), for 1 minute; sixty seconds of your life, any way you want to frame it. Be creative. Be innovative. Be inspiring. Be provoking. Basically anything you find interesting can be recorded.

They’ll provide submission guidelines, recording time (depending on time zone), and other details next month. So, check out Shake the World and start thinking about what you’re going to record on April 11th!

The file includes the icons you see here: RSS, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Twitter, Adobe PDF (yet to incorporate into my site). There is also a “blank” that you can colorize and add your own icon(s) to. The icons in the file are much larger than you see here (roughly 230 x 230px)—which makes ‘em easier to work with and allows different size icons to be generated.

It would be really cool if we could turn this into a community project—continuing to build out the set. Email me any improvements and/or additions (new icons) you make, I’ll update the file and we’ll continue to share and grow the set. Who’s with me?
