The following is a cleaned-up transcript of "iPhones for Good," yesterday's Social Actions' Change The Web conversation (Social Actions' Joe Solomon notes that the conversation was inspired by this Britt Bravo post). I tried to make it so that the conversation reads a bit more fluidly, is broken down into subsections, and more readable to those who weren't initially involved.

At ForaTv, more video now available online: Ethan Zuckerman’s segment from the  NetSquared Conference Session: A Voice in the Wilderness to the Wisdom of Crowds: Citizen Journalism, Nonprofit Organizations and Social Change (coverage provided by Link TV). Last week we posted Dan Gillmor’s segment, also from this session. If you go to ForaTv and type in “netsquared” next to the Search function in the top menu bar, you’ll find this session and the others listed here in the archive:

Ethan Zuckerman blogs about the future of advocacy.  He demonstrates a shift from programmatic "representation" to the "pointing and contextualizing" of the blog world.  This amplifies an important lesson regarding "tolerance."  Just as it is embarassingly presumptuous to emphasize "tolerance" as a value (who am I to presume to tolerate you!?), so also is the tendency idealistically to adopt-a-cause and represent the less fortunate who come along with the ideal.
