Many of you have been asking about the availability of the video that was recorded at the NetSquared Conference by Link TV …so we’re happy to report: one partial and two complete sessions are up now. Here’s Dan Gillmor’s segment from the session: A Voice in the Wilderness to the Wisdom of Crowds: Citizen Journalism, Nonprofit Organizations and Social Change. You can go to www.fora.tv and search for "netsquared" under the Search button in the top nav bar tab, where you’ll also find Making the Most of Disruption featuring Paul Saffo, Howard Rheingold, and Lucy Bernholz; and Grassroots, Netroots, and the End and Beginning of Politics featuring Amy Goodman Joan Blades and Micah Sifrey. Registration is required to use the ForaTv site, and you will need to log-in to view the programs.
Video coverage of the conference sessions and speaker interviews was conducted by Link TV in collaboration with NetSquared. The 32 hours of conference footage will be edited over the next weeks, and these sessions and segments will be made available through Fora TV and the NetSquared Website. Excerpts will also be used for a Link TV documentary that will air later this year.



Net2 Conference attendee, Thomas Ficklin, the CIO of Empower New Haven has begun to post video from the conference on YouTube.
So far he has posted:
