This weekend I attended a conference called „Re:Activism” at the Central European University in Budapest. If you are interested in the connection between interrelation of the new media/ technological advancement and social movements you might want to check out the conference page . You might even find audio and video recording of panels and presentations up soon. There has been a very fancy pool of presenters (really! – L. Lessig, J. Wales., Y. Benkler, W. Drake and the list goes on and on) and it gave me an opportunity to meet some friends from inside and outside Hungary too.

I also used this wonderful occasion to poll some foreigners about what they would find interesting to read in this blog. I have not received concrete topics of interest, which is fine as that’s the whole point: you don’t know what to expect. But here are three overall feedback I got:
1) have something that is universal, to which anyone, anywhere can relate to;
2) keep stories that do not need lots of context explanation;
3) have stories that touch people.

Hmm… These are a bit fuzzy to me, but I hope I manage. Well, anyway if you ever think I’m on the wrong track I hope you would let me know .
