With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with no software to install. A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too.

These responses and questions can also be easily shared via email, Twitter, or Facebook.

Blimee plans on bringing the news back to the street and recreating the town crier, town hall and town square.

E-Democracy.org hosts a growing number of neighborhood-wide Issues Forums we simply call "Neighbors Forums." They are big "C" community life and complement our city-wide big "P" politics forums. The area/population covered is determined by the volunteer forum managers, but in general we like forums that either conform to the service areas of neighborhood councils or are based on a strong sense of local identity.

Participedia is a tool for strengthening democracy. Based on a wiki platform, its main content consists of user-generated articles which describe and assess participatory governance throughout the world. For instance, there will be articles on the British Columbia Citizens’ Assembly of 2004, consensus conferences in Denmark, participatory budgeting in Porto Alegre and other cities, local school council governance in Chicago, municipal evaluation meetings in China, and the People’s Campaign for Democratic Decentralization (under the Panchayati Raj reforms) in Kerala, India. In addition, there will be articles on participatory methods, such as deliberative polling, citizens' assemblies, and participatory budgeting, as well as articles about the organizations that sponsor, implement, and study participatory governance. Over time, we hope Participedia will garner hundreds and perhaps thousands of such articles.

Antoine Dubeauclard, Owner, MediaG email: ant1@mediag.com Proposing a Network for Engagement The Center for the Study of Citizenship and Media Genesis propose the use the Media Genesis’ Power of Peace Network (PPN) platform (developed for UNESCO) as a model and a prototype to create a civic engagement network. A civic engagement version of PPN would provide a space for faculty, leaders in student services, and students themselves to meet, share, collaborate and promote civic engagement among ADP colleges and universities. In Providence, a rump group of eCitizenship schools proposed to make a network a key eCitizenship initiative. This presentation is the next step in its development.
