This is the Big Tent Denver description though it was much more an open discussion than a talk. I took video of most of it and will try to get some online soon, but here is a short video he did after the session with Jill Tubman/Cheryl Contee of Jack and Jill Politics

Changing the Landscape: the Impact of Social Technology on the 2008 Presidential Election

Location: Fifth Floor:Open Space
Time: 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM (MST)

Facilitator: Chris Hughes, Obama for President

This talk will focus on the impact of social technology on websites -- how we are breaking out of the mold of the traditional campaign website and extending the possibilities for what supporters can do. In the past, campaigns have only been able to provide information about a candidate and then ask supporters to simply sign up to volunteer or donate.

In the new model, supporters can immediately connect with others and work to coordinate their actions in their local communities and beyond. The scope of what a supporter can do online has significantly widened, which is very good news for campaigns that are serious about empowering supporters to self-organize. We'll talk specifically about what tools the Obama campaign has developed to make this work possible.
