Nothing But Net

有點眉目，明年來辦！

見：Meetup At Net Tuesday

如何開始？ Net Tuesday checklist：

1. 找一個共同主辦人。兩人三腳力量大。
2. 決定多久要碰一次面。就算是每三個月才碰一次面，也要把日子定下來，方便大家預先安排時間。
3. 決定聚會的形式（可以每月不同）。不論是演講、座談、工作坊或大亂鬥，每次都該有個聚焦。
4. 找個符合聚會形式的場地。最好要有無線網路，交通得方便。
5. 如果場地沒有販賣飲食，看看能否找到食物和茶水的贊助。讓贊助商知道他們可以在所有文宣裡獲得露出。
6. 透過相關網站、朋友、同事宣傳你的 Net Tuesday。最好能在活動開始三週前宣傳你的活動。
7. 如果有講者，要事先詢問他們的技術需求（例如電腦、網路、投影機、轉接器等等）。
8. 一定要供應無酒精飲料。如果要喝酒，就得準備食物。
9. 請與會者在抵達時寫下他們的姓名和 email，並勾選是否要加入你的社群。
10. 讓與會者在活動進行途中拍照、錄影、錄音。
11. 有疑問、想找講者、需要資源或建議，可以到 NetSquared 求助。
12. Have Fun!

Sen. Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech in Chicago, Ill.

OBAMA: And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.

The First Internet Election

The candidates who are successful online are the ones who don't just lead campaigns or political parties -- they lead movements. When they ask people to get involved, they really mean it. Our 2012 candidate has to be comfortable with building a movement. Before a change in strategy can work, our candidates need to change.

The Facebooker Who Friended Obama

“One of my fundamental beliefs from my days as a community organizer is that real change comes from the bottom up,” Mr. Obama said in a statement. “And there’s no more powerful tool for grass-roots organizing than the Internet.”

The ’08 Campaign: Sea Change for Politics as We Know It

“They were Apollo 11, and we were the Wright Brothers,” said Joe Trippi, the manager of Mr. Dean’s campaign.

Twitter #vote Report

Using Twitter Vote Report, voters will be able to share their experiences and resources with one another (e.g. “#wait:120″ meaning that the wait time is 120 minutes). These messages will then be aggregated and mapped so that we can “see” voting problems around the country in real-time.
