Politics Online: By The People, For The People
Planning for this year's Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet conference, taking place Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington, was truly community-driven -- perhaps to reflect the growing importance of people-power, both on- and offline.
This is the first Politics Online summit that was peer-produced, with many conference sessions created and voted on by the public, organizers said. It's also the first time that winners of the IPDI's Golden Dot Awards, which recognize excellence in online campaigning, were decided by the public (more than 3,000 ballots were cast).
The conference facility itself is also very people-friendly with a reasonably fast wireless connection, a Yahoo-sponsored smoothie bar and a Google-sponsored lounge offering candy to sugar fiends and granola for the healthier set.
