During my flight last night, I had a fortune to sit next to a Austin resident named Andy Higgins. Andy works on social networking for large companies, and was in the middle of a project for an Irvine firm. (He wouldn’t say which one.) While swilling vodka (me) or gin (him), we waxed philosophic about the future of online journalism. Here’s a few of our thoughts:
Increasing participatory democracy: I tried doing this last Sunday by live blogging an Assembly candidates’ forum. Through the use of a web-based program called Cover It Live, I logged the questions and responses of the candidates in real-time. A number of people also wrote in to ask me questions, and one even asked me to forward her question to the candidates.
The forum experience was a qualified success. Though the magic of web statistics, I could see that the number of people on the site increased slightly. It wasn’t dramatic, mind you, but I’m all about baby steps. I’m planning on doing more of these events during my time here, so check back early, and check back often.
