I bet it happens later this year, that the major political parties will be doing this.

Well done on a great achievement. My audio problem was because I had two pages open from the PGS site and when I closed one of them, it was fine. I know Hansard will be impressed too. The Open to Persuasion site is a great blog and worth a read, I'm glad they found me and I have added it to my blogroll. Simon, I was hoping you would find my post, somehow knew you would.

I've been to quite a few summits like this, and I've never had the kind of insight we got today. The live blog was fun to do; but it was even more interesting to see the viewers interacting amongst themselves. (Glad you got your audio problems sorted. :) ) We're really pleased at how it all came together, in only a few days; and I'm personally quite proud we did it (almost) all on free and open-source tools - WordPress, Flickr, the fantastic CoverItLive, and so on. I've long been lobbying for more projects like this in government, and this should make a terrific case study. Glad you enjoyed it Ellee.

It was a perfect illustration of how lightweight web technology can transform the public experience of political gatherings of this kind; simultaneously demystifying proceedings and adding new layers of understanding—both about the content of the summit and, as Ellee Seymour notes, about the participants.

I'm getting worried about you, Ellee. One of the bloggers on PP's blog made a v.funny joke at a womans expense, I felt obliged to appear not to get the joke, yet here I am making jokes at a mans expense. Should I blush?
