hallo loves !!!!
i’m about to go live online for an hour-long discussion with my mate eli pariser, one of the smartest smartypants i know from TED, a man who stood on a stage and directly asked the CEOs from google and facebook, years ago, to please do better so the internet wouldn’t tear us apart. he helped found moveon.org and upworthy.com to try to make the internet a nice place to be, and to give people tools to make real change in the world using the net. we will talk about ALL of this, and what’s coming up – for better or worse – this week with the election. please join!!!! the cast is already filling up – please ask a question!!
WE ARE GOING LIVE HERE, AT 6 pm NYC time and 11 am NZST: please RSVP now and start populating the cast with questions!!!!
