Hi all,
This Tuesday 1st November, Mumsnet will be at the London Conference on Cyberspace. It's an international gathering hosted by Foreign Secretary William Hague. Speakers include Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, and Joanna Shields, the President of Facebook UK. We'll be chatting about the benefits and challenges of a networked world - and we'll keep you posted on who's saying what while we're there.
So we want your thoughts! You can join the conversation with global politicians in two ways:
- Write a post about the social benefits of the internet. (You can find some talking points here.)
- Share a comment, question or idea for a talking point on this thread.
We'll promote your posts from Monday and will spread your word through Twitter and Facebook. During the conference on Tuesday, we'll be keeping an eye on opportunities for you to respond to the speakers or ask direct questions @MumsnetBloggers.
So don't be shy! Dive in and let us know - how do you see the internet? What are its benefits, and what are its downsides? Can using the internet help build communities - and is it making us more, or less, connected?
