New Organizing Institute: Open Thread

Hey all. I'm in DC for the next 3 days at a nonprofit technology training/conference hosted by the New Organizing Institute. Right now I'm listening to Peter Leyden talk about tech trends and their political implications. He's making interesting points about mobile technology and reaching communities of color. He's also talking about Second Life. Not nearly as interesting. Wonder if I should talk about the Edwards campaign vandalism in Second Life.

I'm also in town to do a couple interviews for the book. So there won't be any content coming from me until the weekend. Maybe Josh, Alex, or Ryan will get inspired and post something for y'all.

In my absence over the next couple days, I thought I'd try something new. I'd like to leave this as an open thread for all of you (the growing readers) to talk about this site. Use the comments on this thread to:

• Drop links to interesting youth vote articles you find
• Tell us all why you come to this site
• Tell us what you'd like to see more of on this site
• Go buck wild

Ok. That's all. I'm hoping some folks will give some feedback. If no one comments, I won't be too surprised. But if people do, it'll make me smile. Gab away.
