-roughly something like:
-[Hide Quoted Text]
-Social Networking Day: capture the bloody bleedin edge obsession with all things
-social, hopefully including a bunch of folks that will be at BGG and flying people in
-if necessary - this is the more intersting one for me. More below...

-Citizen journalism and Protest - Reclaiming the Truth, Arming your desire...
-The role of popular social networking / media websites (youtube, facebook, flickr,
-twitter etc) in highlighting police brutality during the G20 protests and promoting eco

-- threats to privacy
-- future potential
------------
-Online for Transition?
-How are we using technology to create change?

-the word... from 60+ people on the flickr group to fuck all on del.icio.us, facebook has
