I will be leading a session on Saturday at 1pm covering Flashmobs, Instant
Organizing and Community Building through social media tools. Joining me for
the workshop will be Jeff Johnson of http://urbaninfill.wordpress.com and Tim
Eby of http://wosu.org both of whom are involved with the Columbus Social Media

Finally, if you are podcasting, putting up photos or video, or just writing
some stories about Comfest this weekend please tag it with Comfest08 so that we
can track it down as a part of the larger Comfest Archive. Thanks!Andrew Miller
