Gießen.
My own keynote at this Web 2.0 and politics conference here in Gießen [8] is next, in a session which discusses the possible impact of blogs, citizen journalism, and other forms of online political participation on wider political processes. My own thoughts as presented here build to some extent on the article I published in Information Polity earlier this year [9], and also draw on recent Australian examples (the role of Possums Pollytics [10] in the Australian election campaign of 2007, and the new GetUp! [11] project Project Democracy [12]). I've posted the slides below, and will add the audio when I can the audio is now online, too.

Additionally, a team from the University of Trier is using the talk as a case study of how audience members' eyes follow Powerpoint presentations (using a snazzy if somewhat unsightly contraption based on a bicycle helmet), which makes me feel especially self-aware about my presentation but also has the added bonus of probably being able to post a video of my presentation here some time down the track. I'll keep you informed.

Here are the slides:

A good (and in parts nicely controversial) discussion ensued after my presentation, which unfortunately I wasn't able to record. My role here was that of a provocateur, and I think I accomplished that mission.
