| The Public Media Conference 2008...the Wiki
The most powerful element of the Internet is not it's capacity to deliver individual streams or podcasts. It's the network.  Use the link below to access our "Conference Wiki," for the 2008 PMC in LA.
Powered by the same application software that built Wikipedia, the wiki allowed all 450 PMC registrants to
- Post questions and issues for the speakers and panelists;
- Share information about your current work and professional interests, including software applications and areas of interest/expertise;
- Sign up for the small group dinners which will be organized around topics and, in a few cases, personalities.
Browse the wiki by clicking on the "wiki mandella" image, above, or go to http://wiki.integratedmedia.org.
