Note by Salim Ismailsalim:
Jeff is moderating a panel with Ana Maria Cox, Ben Smith and others...
- Jeff: this is going to be "Oprah style"
- room is weirdly half empty
"Anyone can record anything anywhere". Discuss.... cool!
Q: What tools changed the elections (if any)...
A: email and barackobama.com changed things... that might be a bit boring but that's how it was...
Some great quotes by Ana Marie
Jeff: there are 500 fan groups for BMW
AMC - ever since Cheney cursed on the floor I feel it's ok
The Huffington Post gets 26m uniques a month... amazing
Josh Levy (audience member) to panelist... "Please be quiet, I'm asking a question"
Clay Shirky: "not a lot of lateral social networking between candidate websites and constituents"
Question to Jay Rosen: what's wrong with the horse-race paradigm?
Jeff: "what are we over-hyping most"? Answer: Political campaigns are about winning, not creat ing community - get off it!!
AMC - Obama is one of the best marketed/packaged politicians in history
