Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

AUGUST 30, 2009

Many cool people attend, and the quality of the conversations is terrific. That's why conversations can cut right to the issue that people are debating. As one attendee put it to me, he can always go to everyone's blog and find out what they're working on. And Google made this parity commitment before other key players.

This blog originally appeared on the Huffington Post In December 1981 soldiers of the Salvadoran Army’s Atlacatl Battalion entered the village of El Mozote, where they murdered hundreds of men, women and children.

I have been blogging for Social Edge this week, and have grouped together several of my blogs from there for the Beneblog! I don't expect each of these conversations to result in something in the coming year, but I'm sure we will find at least one "live one" in the next year, and more after that.
