YO! 1st WAVE BLOGGERS!
remember when early political bloggers of what y'all now call the #netroots, protested both the appointments of #JohnRoberts and #SamuelAlito to the bench?
i even co-wrote a statement for the #feminist blogger network where we were very clear eyed about Samuel Alito's history of targeting not just women in his decisions but girls and women of color.
this is one of those #ToldyaSo moments i detest saying, but told ya so

At the time, Obama's grassroots was the most successful #netroots in history. Talented coders and digital strategists figured out how to leverage the internet to identify, mobilize and coordinate volunteers across the country. And while netroots activists did their work across the whole internet, their home base was a server the Obama campaign controlled. Once Obama won, they switched that server off.

The #netroots meetings at #nwspk
Feeling like an alien with the chasm that divides my #openweb view from the FB generation making up the panel and ordnance
The guy from Demos said in passing the are better #openweb projects in most areas
No mention of the WWW just the Internet. This might be because a company like Facebook are not on the web
Said legislating for the #dotcons is dangerous for wider Internet. On this positive note they agreed they were incompetent for the roles they were playing
