Can the Afrosphere Survive the Age of Obama?

Type Panel → interactive panel
Venue: Austin Convention Ctr (Room 16AB)
About: The presidency of Barack Obama will have far-reaching ramifications for politics, society, and even black identity in America. Websites such as BlackWeb2.0.com, the Blackbird browser, and a myriad of bloggers both target and ally themselves with the black blogosphere, often referred to as the "Afrosphere". The question must be asked: In the new Age of Obama, will an "afro-centric web" begin to fade into, simply, "the web"?

Speaker Info: Liz Burr (CEO, Lizhini Media), Denise Jacobs (Web Design Solutions Consultant, PapillonEffect), Markus Robinson (GM, Black Web 2.0), Fredric Mitchell (Owner, Bright Plum), Corvida Raven (Social Media Consultant, SheGeeks)
