The conference agenda this year looks great. It is amazing how much Micah has really grown this event with Andrew over the years.  I have been to the last three and it is good to see a heavy focus again on detailed sessions, made more possible this year since it is now two days.  

We will be taking the conference as an opportunity to pull the veil off of our new work on Managing News and show off the new clipping tools that we have built that can help out campaigns. Beta use has been great, and later next week we'll be making an announcement about a new option that will lower the barriers to entry a lot. We've gotten a bunch of requests from smaller NGOs that want to use this for just a couple key terms.

If you are going to be at PDF, you can be sure to find me at a couple key sessions.  Here are my favorite ones so far:

* Visualizing the Political Blogosphere

* Covering the "Click-ocracy": Tracking the Internet's Impact on Politics and Journalism

* Reinventing political media (the rise of semi-pro journalism?)

* Inside the Presidential Campaigns: What Worked, What Didn't Peter

* Design Principles for Online Democracy: Connecting Government and Constituents in the Internet Age

I am excited to see a lot of you folks next week!
