Berkman at 10: The Future of the Internet is in Our Hands
By Micah L. Sifry, 05/15/2008 - 10:39am

I'm at Harvard today and tomorrow attending the Berkman Center's 10th anniversary, and boy is this is an idea-rich environment. If you want to peek in on the proceedings, there are lots of ways to join in:

You can watch Steve Garfield's live video streams on Qik.com, you can log into the IRC back-channel at irc.freenode.net/berkman, and there's a lot of blogging, twittering and flickring happening, all grouped around the tag "Berkmanat10". UPDATE: Oh my god, someone has built a meta stream of all the Berkman commentary, using Yahoo Pipes.

I highly recommend checking it out. Right now Jonathan Zittrain is giving a tour-de-force keynote on the endangered structure of the Internet. I started reading his book, "The Future of the Internet, And How to Stop It" on the plane ride up to Boston, and can already say it's must-reading. He's even better on stage. More soon, if I have time...
