What a curious thing the Democratic debate this afternoon ended up being. I was unable to watch them live, needing to be at work to earn a living, but found out via Len Edgerly on Twitter that baratunde was sending out live tweets covering the goings on. So, when I got home this evening, I followed the Twitter streams of baratunde and Len to get a sense of what happened.

Things have changed in the last three years. What tools do you think are going to pop up before the election that will continue to disrupt traditional media?

Through WESTAF, I'm working on a project right now with the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs in which there will be some kind of blogging component. I'm not going to go into specific details of the project as elements are still being fleshed out. It will be a Web 2.0 style site with lots of community building tools.

In our conversations/brainstorms/planning, I was introduced to a site called Convinceme.net. ConvinceMe is a debate site in which a person shares a question, and then the community can chime in.
