Hi .....CPOV list
......I am emailing the list to start a discussion, if people are at all willing, on Wikileaks as
a side issue to this, and the overall social media factor concerning the protests in Tunisia, Egypt and soon
to be elsewhere.
The spectrum of issues is so far and wide, that attempting to take in the empirical reality quickly enough to
advance our theoretical understanding of what is happening in so many areas is head spinning.
I am currently writing a couple of chapters for different book efforts, one looking at Wikileaks as an actor in global politics and their effect
in relation to the content released and the media political economy of how it was released, and another looking at Wikileaks
internally and the organizational, ideological, and internal issues emerging in regards to leadership and forking to Openleaks.
Wikileaks is in a way a starting point to address issues lurking in my area of expertise during the last decade.
I hope this is not seen as too self-involved and I am wondering whether other where doing similar work,
in which case it would be interesting for me to exchange some views on this list or via one-to-one emails/chats at this point.
------------------
I dont know whether you would be interested in starting some kind of debate in the p2p list or the foundation blog that is focused on these issues,
perhaps collaborating on the p2p aspects of wikileaks and the internal issues could be something everyone could talk about
Cheers
