SXSW Panel: What Civil Society Can Learn from Social Web
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.
