I'll be covering the 2008 Politics Online conference right here in Washington next Tuesday and Wednesday. One of the keynote speakers is CV favorite Drew Clark, of Broadband Census and I should have coverage of a bunch of really cool panels on technology, democracy, and their intersection in Washington.
There is alot of attention focused on "Social Networking" for politics. I'm interested to see what the DC chattering class and the so-called "technologists" have to say about it. To some degree it looks like alot of bunk, and just another money-raising tool. I have at least one person I plan on talking to about it on Tuesday.
The schedule is posted here. Please let me know if there's something you want to see or a speaker you want me to talk to.
Only two days after that I head to Austin for SXSW Interactive. Again, reader suggestions on what to cover are appreciated, otherwise all you'll have is what I think is cool. While that may be great for some, I think those of you not there should have some input on what you get to hear about.
If you're going to either and you'd like to meet up, feel free to drop me a note.
