I will be leading a session on Saturday at 1pm covering Flashmobs, Instant Organizing and Community Building through social media tools. Joining me for the workshop will be Jeff Johnson of http://urbaninfill.wordpress.com and Tim Eby of http://wosu.org both of whom are involved with the Columbus Social Media Cafe with me.
Finally, if you are podcasting, putting up photos or video, or just writing some stories about Comfest this weekend please tag it with Comfest08 so that we can track it down as a part of the larger Comfest Archive. Thanks!
