Isee Mr. Dale has picked up Aaron`s piece and your Lloyds gaff as well….

Who’s this Goldacre guy?

Sounds like a bit of a square to me…

Heh. If I had time to waste newmania, I’d explain myself to you or Iain. But I don’t. If you guys want to ignore the point I’m making and conjure up a “gaffe”, then so be it… it’s no skin off my back.

BenSix,

Heh.

You are being satirical again, aren’t you?

Just in case anyone doesn’t know who he is – and you do young Benjamin – your namesake (oh well, half your namesake) – is one of the best anti woo bloggers on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.

And probably worth the admission price on his own.

So there.

Sunny,

The serious question is how does this – what we do here, what we say here – feed into politics generally?

It is all very well for thee and me to agree on most things, but if it does not at least effect decision making it is a waste of time. It seems to me that that is the log jam.

How would your panel see that cross-over developing?

Correction as the source responsible. We have sold over 1,000 tickets not 1,200 but there are more than 1,200 confirmed participants including speakers, stewards, partners and hangers on.
There are also now seven out of London meetings as Birmingham has bounced back. I hope a lot of the Convention will be about what do we do to stop the database state and…. then…

Sunny, an excellent panel. I think it’s very important to connect blogging with the wider world of e-campaigning and political campaigning.

As I think someone else has suggested, a focus on how blogging and e-campaigning actually fits into the political process and influences (or doesn’t influence) outcomes would be very useful.

I was going to suggest you invite Duane Raymond from Fairsay (http://fairsay.com/) but I guess you’ve got your panel sorted now. Anyway, he’s done some interesting stuff on e-campaigning and has also done some research on how MPs are influenced by it.

Worth looking into.

thanks Graham – will definitely look into that project.
