The good folks over at 463 Communications know that tech-related parties make for one of my favorite blog topics so I was glad when they sent me this little gem, which I would have seen on their own blog eventually. [Sidebar: I'm not sure why I didn’t think to blog about 463's annual Ocho de Mayo party -- it was a who's who of tech policy flacks, hacks, wonks, etc. at Chef Geoff's in downtown D.C.]
Anyway, 463er Katie Hallen writes:
Arianna Huffington and Melanie Ellison threw a posh soiree for Berkman Center for Internet Society Co-Founder Jonathan Zittrain this past Saturday night in honor of his new book, "The Future of the Internet – And How To Stop It."
Held at the Ellison’s breathtaking, ubermodern Pacific Heights home overlooking Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, the party was well attended by Silicon Valley celebrities including Melanie’s husband, Larry Ellison, Larry Page and Craig Newmark (sporting an Obama pin).
Others included Mayor Gavin Newsom, Jerry Brown, Phil Bronstein, Yves Behar (designer of the XO laptop), USA Today’s Jon Swartz (co-author of the cybersecurity caper "Zero Day Threat"), and Stanford Law’s Joshua Cohen (leading John Rawls philosopher and editor of the Boston Review). And, myself.
The Wall Street Journal’s Kara Swisher posted this fun video capturing the evening and thoughts on the book. For more, Zittrain discusses the book tonight on Charlie Rose. The Berkman Center is a 463 client.
