The series continues tonight at 7pm US Central Time (90 degrees off the prime meridian, 6 hours ahead of Universal, Zulu, Greenwich Mean Time or whatever you call it where you are.)
A discussion of the essays of Valdis Krebs (It’s the Conversation Stupid!: The Link Between Social Action & Political Choice), Ross Mayfield (Social Network Dynamics & Participatory Politics), David Weinberger (Broadcasting & the Voter’s Paradox) and Danah Boyd (Social Technology & Democracy). Pages 112 – 190
See extremedemocracy.com for a description of what has been discussed so far, and what is planned between now and September 17. The book and more information is available free at that site or you can get your hands on something substantial (perfect bound paperback or PDF download) here. To join the conversation at 7pm, just click on the Texas Forums Virtual Room link in the left sidebar at extremedemocracy.com. It will ask for a password, but none is required.
Here’s the tech talk on how to get in there. I’m not sure that a PC per se is really required. Those in the 8% who have bought into the style and the status of an off-brand platform can probably make that work too [/snark]…
