Greetings from Barcelona

This picture is much better blown up, but still, I like it - it was the view from the conference room where we had my panel discussion today about the blogs and their influence, and it's got a bit of a futureworld meets old Europe - which is very much Barcelona, and this conference (Personal Democracy Forum - Europe). It was an interesting panel with Mick Fealty, a very interesting Irish blogger, Nicolas Vanbremeersch, who was one of the top bloggers in France, but moved on to create his own Internet consulting business, and another blogger Heidi Nordby Lunde. I'm exhausted, it's 1240am and I only just got online for the first time in a day - the connection has been spotty here. Just very fascinating - I'll share more stories and insights when I actually get a chance to breathe. Need to hit the sack. But it really is very exciting to see the political blogosphere, and Netroots, growing worldwide. And it's really exciting, to me at least, to be able to meet colleagues in other countries, doing a lot of the same work, and being able to learn from them, and share some of what we've done. It's a small world... :-) (Now none of you will get that song out of your heads!)
