Some Things

This post is the last part of a series of posts about the Web 2.0 and its role in the American presidential election 2008. The main purpose of this series was to provide a platform for discussion among the members of our group and, in true Web 2.0 spirit, everybody else. It lead into a series of podcast episodes, this is the last episode. The series is being written for the seminar “Campaigns & Candidates” at the University of Osnabrück in the winter term 2008/2009.

In February, we gave a presentation at the 2nd Osnabrück Student Symposium, talking about the Web 2.0 and American politics. As we promised in the audio podcast, there is a video of that presentation available right now. Unfortunately it seems like the last part of our presentation is missing, but over at lernfunk.de you can still have a look at the first half of our presentation.

This project has been very interesting and a lot of fun. If you ever get the chance to give a presenation at a student symposium like this, try it! It’s well worth the work and time. We learnt a lot on many different levels, but most importantly, we still think about a lot of the topics brought up at the symposium and the seminar.
