Our Net Tuesday Philly on February 3 will focus on “Democracy 2.0” – how the social web is being used for political and civic engagement. This was considered a big factor in Barack Obama’s successful campaign, and is poised to permanently and profoundly alter the landscape of politics from now on.

• What can non profits and social change agents learn from these early experiments?
  
• How can our efforts reflect and reinforce this new political paradigm?
  
• What implications does Democracy 2.0 present for how we engage with clients, with our causes and with one another?
  

We’ll have an interactive discussion about these issues with a great panel, including:

• Michael Tweed, organizer of the Philly Democracy 2.0 Meetup
  
• Rob Stuart, President of Evolve Strategies
  
• Ian Storrar, Chief Operating Officer of mobilize.org
  

Plus, there will be plenty of time for schmoozing, networking and meeting other folks who want to use the social web for social change.

NOTE THE NEW TIME AND PLACE:

When: 6:00 – 9:00 PM on Tuesday, February 3
