I'm here at the Personal Democracy Forum, and sad to report that they aren't allowing coffee into the auditorium.
We just heard Zephyr Teachout speak, she asked us to consider whether the innovations we're seeing in political technology were actually creating civic participation. "How many people have within them the knowledge of what it would take to form a local group?" This, she argues, should be the true test of the success or failure of new technologies.
Next, Anthony Hamelle from linkfluence presented a map they have created of the political blogosphere. Pretty fantastic.
