Digital Soapboxes
You may remember, many weeks ago now, Pods and Blogs had one of the first one the record interviews with Tim O'Reilly calling for a bloggers code (written up on News Online here.)
The implications of the call for a code are bing discussed on Thursday May 10th at the Guardian. Soapboxes in Cyberspace will look at
The recent debate around the call for a Blogger’s Code of Conduct highlighted the growing importance of the online ‘political commons’. Historically the political commons has been shaped by political parties, civic organisations, and news and current affairs media. Increasingly people cleave to the latter for engagement, but its ability to facilitate a political commons – from the BBC’s ‘Have Your Say’ to the Guardian’s Comment is Free – is not yet proven. Is this a challenge of business models or technical constraints? Lack of understanding of users or failure to design the right kind of spaces? Or the product of broader social phenomena we have yet to understand?
Looks like its £15 on the door, no word on dress code.

As the event programmer, I should note that payment can be made online, and can be taken by credit card or bank account (where available) or PayPal. We may have a facility to take cash payments on the door. No dress code ;-)
It should be an enlightening discussion, and we look forward to welcoming some of the Five Live audience and staff.
