putting faces to the names….
Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Etech .
Back in my room after having a good catchup and dinner with Sean Bonner (seanbonner), Michael Pusateri (Argyle) and James McMurry (mcunixjr) from #joiito as well as Ernie Svenson (Ernie the Attorny)…bumped into Joi Ito while we were in the lobby before dinner and saw a few other people from the #joiito channel as well…..putting faces to names is always an interesting experience…..photos at the moblog…
Interesting conversation at dinner about all the blog and community stuff happening around the lead up to the election in the US at the moment….i wonder if it would be much different if they had the same setup we have in Austrlia where it is compulsory to vote….
I’ll be keeping an eye out to see how much of the US style campaigning will happen at the next Australian election and how it will be utilised (if at all) by the advertising industry…..though i don’t any of our politicians having the nerve to expose themselves to the public the way that Howard Dean has done in the US….i just can’t imagine John Howard or Mark Latham running a blog or getting donations from a community based ground swell….
