Interest networks are actually interesting, and may be how we can carry out politics, among other efforts, online.

I look forward with enthusiasm to attending both panels that Nova is organizing. After coming across both in the Panel Picker and seeing the parallels with my own interests, I did a bit of web research. Not only was I further enthused - and struck by how similar Nova’s passions are to mine - but also I discovered that Nova has a track record of assembling knock-out panels at conferences. I hope both of his panels here are accepted. The Future of the Web would be the big picture – and would undoubtedly attract an interesting range of big-name futurists; Interest Networks would showcase one of the most interesting areas within that big picture – and would, I am sure, bring panelists I would definitely want to meet. I hope, too, that Nova will be able to attend my presentation, which will introduce a solution to many of the challenges confronting construction of the Semantic Web, in general, and development of Interest Networks, in particular.
