Progressive activists, organizations and influential leaders will descend upon Austin, Texas this week for the third annual blogger convention now known as Netroots Nation. The conference this year will be perhaps the most web 2.0 savvy of all as convention-goers prepare to Twitter, Flickr, and livestream from the panels to the after-parties.

Tag Twitter posts with #NN08 to join the conversation on Summarize, which was recently bought out by Twitter.

Flickr photos should also be tagged NN08 for easy viewing.

Ustream.TV will stream the feeds for six different rooms, including the remarks of Governor Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco, Calif.), and General Wesley Clark:

• Exhibit Hall 4
• Ballroom E
• Ballroom F
• Ballroom G
• Room 12
• Room 19

Friday, July 18, I will moderate the panel, “Our ‘Dos Centavos’: Strategies for Latino Bloggers” with Roger Garza, Mynor Rodriguez, Edmundo Rocha and Marisa Treviño, and held in Room 19 at 1:30PM local time. This panel will be streamed live online.
