Hoder on SXSW

I'll be speaking on two back-to-back panels tomorrow in SXSW.

Tthe first one is "Blogs and Blockades: Forging a True Global Internet" in which Benjamin Walker will talk about the reality of Chinese censorship of information, and I'll talk about how Iran is embracing internet and particularly blogs and what it means.

The second panel is titled "Blogging Without Borders: Bridging the Digital Content Divide" which I'll basically be filling for Joi Ito who is in Spain now for another conference and will have to try not to repeat myself.

By the way, I've launched the preview version of the website for my NGO, Rear Window Initiative. It's slogan is "Advancing peace and democracy in Iran through weblogs."

hey hoder! it's great that you're getting RWI up and running, I'm really excited about it. Sounds like it will be a great project, from you've told me. I'd love to help out in any way I can, just drop me a line anytime. Cheers!
