google on dupe content http://snurl.com/4usww "we're good at ignoring dup" and "make it easy for us to find the preferred version"

bye by and ad:tech. off to web 2.0
gosh, on taxi hold at jfk, 45 min wait. wow. everyone has cell phones on, laptops open
hello oakland
and hello web 2.0
pretty sure elon musks tesla http://twitpic.com/khp8
huffington @ web 2.0: "were it not for the internet, barack obama would not be president"
huffington: blog echo chamber stopped myths like palin stopping "bridge to nowhere" from becoming reality to voters. group debunking
web 2.0: will my.whitehouse.gov becoming, so citizens can play more of a role. might be pretty cool
newcome on reelection last year asked who all these people at rally. "those are all your friends from facebook" him "what's facebook"
newsom: candidates get web for fundraising, yet. but other stuff not yet. wishes his i left heart in sf song he sang would go awayfrom utube
newsom: poliics now more like reality tv, where everything is being documented by anyone
huffington: she's not sending out undercover reporter hiding that they'll report. citizen journalists -- and obama campaign recognizes
there's no "off the record" fundraisers. reference to something that came out from one.
newsom: are we more authentic or less authentic when we always have to be on. (but seriously, off the record's not dead. it's just
the idea that off the record at public events ain't going to happen
at web 2.0 by the way in the web and politics panel. very interesting. sorry for the twitterea
trippi: web 2.0 makes mapping, targeting, connecting much easier than years ago. obama won every single causus state that matters and he did
it because of those tools. hillary didn't have the money to pay organizers and compete.
republicans in deep trouble as showing no ability to use web 2.0 tools. also online video important, way to virally influence
newsom 100,000s right across the street still have no clue about the web, engagement being discussed and need it the most
heilemann: is obama the first independent? since he know has his own mailing list and power separate from dem party. death of2 party system?
trippi: 1 out of 18 voters in us are signed up members of the obama campaign. that's amazing power to move an agenda forward.
trippi: 47% did not vote for obama. he's got to sit in the middle and do an amazing job of convincing those folks
change.gov has no news on its news page about obama's press conference http://snurl.com/57n3f cmon guys
