On Saturday, March 24th at 11:15am, I will be teaming up with uber-geek and blogdiva Liza Sabater of CultureKitchen and other blogliciousness to moderate a 90-minute workshop humorously called: BYOB: Build Your Own Blog at the Applied Research Center's annual Facing Race conference, to be held this year in New York City.
This workshop will not be about trite speeches or boring PowerPoint presentations. On the contrary, Liza and I have planned a highly informative, interactive and fun session for participants that will discuss not just how to build a blog for your organization or cause, but 1) why/if one should do so in the first place, and 2) what is the broader new media/netroots landscape for doing so and 3) the much larger socio-political context for leveraging this new, powerful activist tool.
