Iran, Twitter, Ethics and the Virtual World

Our panel (Evan O'Neil of the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, me, Josh [we are both Senior Fellows at the Carnegie Council] and Andrew Kneale of the British Council) had to rock at the #140conf in NYC today--we were opening for Wyclef Jean, who made it known just how far he'd go for a fan. I didn't chase him into the bathroom to get the below picture but if I had, I have a hunch he would have posed on the throne, and signed an autograph on a square of paper to boot.

Josh moderated the panel. I spoke about the evolution of ethics within the digital culture. 44 tweets and retweets resulted, including one very compelling ethics query related to the use of revealing Twitter names in a major publication.

Dancing Ink Productions was well represented! Our intern, Diandra Louarn, worked at the #140conf and will be writing about her experience.
