Many of you may have heard of the Netroots Nation conference that's taking place right now in Vegas. For those who have not, it's a conference for grassroots activists and bloggers who use the Internet and new communication technologies to advance progressive politics. It was launched in 2006 by Daily Kos, and is now exists as a partnership with Democracy for America.
What's so great about a conference a few thousand miles from DC? They live stream! Here's a list of the 70 panels going on between now and Saturday: http://bit.ly/cHjH7g
A lot of panels are issue focused, but many are specifically about social media and online communications, and a handful feature eminent speakers (note that the times listed are Pacific Time, so add three hours for ET). Obviously most of the content is politics oriented, but the techniques and technologies can be universally applied. Here are a few I recommend:
