Ohmynews Citizen Forum Update

ohmynewsforum05 The sessions and speakers are very good, but the day is packed with events. To post, I have to use blogger.com in Korean, and my memory of which command is where is not perfect. The citizen journalists are remarkably similar across all of their national or ethnic differences and I find that encouraging. The whole idea of the global village seems much more real when you talk to people from all over the world who share a vision of what communication can be. Ohmynews has been a wonderful host. When you read the Ohmynews site, you can see the proliferation of stories about the forum. At Blognashville, the bloggers used flicker.com as a virtual hangout around the photos they posted. Here, the various participants are doing their stories about the conference and they are being posted to the Ohmynews site in a similar way. Well, we are going on another tour, so I have to sign off. More later, and when I can get to an ethernet connection, I will download the photos. The iRiver MP3 recorder is way-cool and working better than expected.
