Ethan Zuckerman to Keynote @ ROFLCon II

At ROFLCon, we’ve been blessed with having a fair number of ridiculously awesome scholars of the internet to round out and spice up our usual mix of the web famous and geek-notables. Researchers who are breaking some new ground, and slicing-and-dicing the questions of culture and the web in some mind-blowing ways. All that, and they’re really nice people to hang out with, to boot.

Today, I’m pumped to announce in that vein that Ethan Zuckerman — fellow at the Berkman Center, co-founder of Global Voices, all-around genius (see e.g. his latest post on the Wu Tang Clan), and a founder of Tripod (no, really) — will be attending and keynoting at ROFLCon II! He’s been looking into the world of imaginary cosmopolitanism, which leads to a wild discussion of the frontmen of Journey and an unexpected dive into the Nigerian Prince scam.

It’s amazing stuff. I’ve updated the guest list accordingly.
