Daily Digest: PdF '08 Day One -- And So It Begins
By Nancy Scola, 06/23/2008 - 2:36pm

Since this is Day One of the 2008 Personal Democracy Forum, we’ll be (mostly) devoting the Daily Digest to a recap of what’s going down at the conference, being discussed in the halls, and heating up the back channels. We’ll return to our regular digest format on Wednesday.

We'll be adding content from the conference as it comes up, so if you're reading this via email check back in on the web.

In Case You Missed It...

Douglas Rushkoff has posted his take on "Beyond Brand Obama": "The danger in Brand Obama is that our focus on a heroic or mythic presidency could easily distract us from the hard work and reality of creating change ourselves."

Micah Sifry covers the Obama-McCain Twitter Debate and offers thoughts on "Obama and His Movement: The Internal Battle Begins."

Colin Delany ticks off "Seven Things about Online Politics We Can Learn from Barack Obama and the 2008 Primary Season."

A Day at PDF in Five Minutes.

Remix America is proud to be a sponsor of PDF. We spent the day yesterday at the conference and remixed it... available this morning on the home page at remixamerica.org.
