As you may
recall, our CEO Ben Berkowitz recently led a panel discussion at
SXSW on the roll of the Social Web in contemporary Civil Society. Ben was joined on the panel by participants from
Localmind,
NeighborGoods,
Meetup, and the
City of Austin.
You can listen to the audio of the very interesting conversation
here. It's a wide ranging discussion that touches on Locke, Hobbes, and the uplifting tale of Jimmy the hotdog vendor. If you like learning and thinking about the ways that citizens are leveraging government and technology to make community cool, this is worth a listen.
