Lauren-Glenn Davitian, Executive Director of CCTV Center for Media & Democracy began the NTC session, "Nonprofit Communications 2.0 – Seven Steps to Transform Your Organization" with a story from the Tipping Point. Paul Revere was one of two people who went out the night that the British were going to invade Boston.
According to NTC keynote speaker, David Weinberger, a Fellow at the Harvard Berkman Center, the real change created by the Web is not the creation of tools like blogs, wikis and tags. The real and more important change is about who controls what is interesting and important to us, and who has authority. The Web is "ours".
