Jonathan Zittrain spoke last year at the Institute for European Affairs (which I guess is now the Institute for International and European Affairs…) — compelling speaker and thinker on the net and its future possibilities, positive and negative. Observer columnist and author/blogger/Open University academic John Naughton has posted the mp3 of a talk he just gave on [...]

I’ve just put the new podcast up, a recording of a talk and Q&A session with Joe Rospars, the man behind Barack Obama’s phenomenally successful use of Web 2.0 technologies in his presidential  campaign and in particular, on his campaign website, barackobama.com. Rospars was in Dublin on Wednesday for the launch of Fianna Fail’s new [...]

It should be up by this Friday evening, with the next installment the following Friday. I am not sure if I will stick with Fridays… or maybe a Monday release. But the first should, fingers crossed, be ready at some point on Friday.
