Ranting and reporting from WSIS

Andy Carvin, who heads up the Digital Divide Network, is currently making good use of personal media in reporting preparations for the next round of the World Summit on the Information Society. He writes "Just in case my blog entry didn't capture the chaos from earlier today, here are some videos of the civil society plenary in which Tunisian human rights activists fought with other Tunisian representatives over the human rights caucus document that was supposed to be delivered to the WSIS prepcom plenary." Fortunately later sessions were more orderly. The videos are avi format so look as if they are straight from a stills camera, showing you don't need to carry a lot of kit. Elsewhere on his blog Andy offers a clickable map of his travels, audio, and a feed from a Yahoo discussion group.
There's always plenty of rhetoric at these events about the personally empowering potential of technology, but fewer participants practising what they preach.
