Austin report
June 9th, 2006 | by onewebday | Published in Uncategorized
We had a great OneWebDay brainstorming session in Austin last night. Jon Lebkowsky blogs about it here.
The local-ness of OneWebDay is one of its strengths. Yes, it’s about making the worldwide collaboration we do online visible, but it’s also local. Austin has a tremendous community of entrepreneurs and techies, and is also very proud of itself as a place to live and do business. So a local OneWebDay get-together, a party to celebrate what the web does for Austin — for education, for government outreach, for jobs — is ideal.
Speaking of local and global, take a look at startup.gr, a blog from Greece that has the OneWebDay logo on its front page. The blog author says there are only 2000 bloggers in Greece and 250K DSL subscribers, and he/she is trying to get Greeks more involved in the web as a participatory medium.
