user-generated / social news is an interesting and relevant thing-- i always wondered, however, how to expand the breadth beyond the usual participatory suspects. would be interested to hear a bit about how / if that matters.

This sounds like a really interesting panel!

I have always wondered (and feared ina 1984-ish way) if/how people will collaborate in a world that is becoming increasingly dependent on digital proxemics, as opposed to the old fashioned way ... in the back room of a bar.
