Net Tuesdays or Net2 Local gatherings provide a chance to connect locally with all those interested in the intersection of social technologies and social change. There are new groups forming every week: Join in!
We have been getting a lot of spam comments on the site lately. I mean, a lot. So, now you have to be registered and logged into netsquared.org in order to comment. We hate putting up obstacles to participation, but you know how it is. Can't let the spam bring you down.
Side note: The Anti-Spam Coalition has some good tips for reducing spam as does the TechSoup article, Things You Can Do to Prevent Spam.
