Last night I had the privilege of being a panel member for the Social Media and Presidential Elections Conference at the Samsung Experience on Columbus Circle. I wanted to thank the organizers: NY:MIEG, E.Factor and CBSAC/NY for putting on a smart and engaging affair. I liked seeing how all the different panel members were using social media to influence and inform everyday people about important political issues.
Ellis Henican did a great job moderating the event, everything flowed smoothly and the packed audience was interested from start to finish. It was interesting to see how the folks at 23/6 are using humor to offer an alternative view on the political scene.
I also really enjoyed the Samsung experience, which, for someone with ADD was the most visually stimulating experience of my life.
I was happy to see a spirited Q&A session and loved hearing how Rachel Sterne was using citizen journalism to combat the major news outlets. I was also interested to hear what Howard Greenstein is doing to advise influential organizations on the wonders of social media.
Thanks again to all the event organizers, I encourage more people to participate in the next panel and look forward to participating in the next event.
