Social Actions at the NY Tech MeetupLast night, the NY Tech Meetup hosted a conversation with 6 social action practitioners (myself included) about the future of organizing.

Presenters included: Jordan Goldberg (Stickk.com), Jesse Richards (MeetUp), Paul Miller (School of Everything), Andrew Mason (ThePoint), Clay Shirky (Here Comes Everybody), and myself.

For notes from each presentation, see Sanford Dickert's live blogging of the event. A big thank you to Scott Heiferman and Dawn Barber for organizing the event and inviting me to speak.

I used my time to provide an overview of the peer-to-peer social change field, quickly demo Social Actions, and then make a pitch for my proposal on the NetSquared Mashup Challenge.

I have audio from the event, and will spend tomorrow preparing the archived presentations and subsequent Q&A.

Update 3/12/08: I have uploaded the presentations to my profile on Blip.TV.

In the meantime, here are the slides from my presentation.

Note: The third slide of this presentation didn't convert well to the SlideShare format. It should read: 29+ social action platforms, each with its own: User base, Facbeook app, Tag cloud, Reputation system, Widget system, Payment method, and Fee structure
