Hack4Dean hits Wired

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be present at the birth of a new approach to electronic democracy.

So far I've only met Josh Koenig in person, but fellow founding father Zack Rosen gave an interview to Wired News this week that explains what they are up to.

For my small contribution to the effort, I get the eastvillage.fordean.net node. And first spot in the database. And a seat on the sidelines to toss in suggestions. Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of online participatory democracy!
