Steve Clemons is hosting an event tomorrow at the New America Foundation of, erm, note.
The first features Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy James K. Glassman who will be speaking on the subject, "Public Diplomacy 2.0."
Glassman will be sharing his thoughts on how new technology, including social networking, is changing the face of public diplomacy - specifically, how new technology fits Glassman's new approach to engaging with foreign audiences by convening and facilitating rather than preaching and directing.
...Glassman's event will stream live at The Washington Note from 10:00 am til 11:30 am EST on Monday, 1 December.
(The event Glassman will be discussing, primarily is the Alliance of Youth Movements summit his office is co-sponsoring.)
DIP has a related note: On January 12, 2009 at 11:00 am, Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs James Glassman will be a guest on a live internet broadcast from the virtual world of Second Life that features eight Egyptian political bloggers who covered the US Presidential Election and are learning about how the American political system works.
This event is sponsored by the American University in Cairo, funded by USAID and produced by Dancing Ink Productions. It will include real-time chat between a live internet audience and event participants in the virtual world of Second Life. The US State Department is collaborating on Glassman's participation in this event.

Clemons also mentions an article in The New York Times about profiteering and conflict of interest off the war in Iraq. Clemons notes that when he launched The Washington Note four years ago, one of his first stories was about former CIA director James Woolsey in similar conflict-of-interest positions.
Dancing Ink Productions own Rita J. King knows this field as well. She was the author of Big, Easy Money: Disaster Profiteering on the American Gulf Coast the third in a series about corporate profiteering in the US. The previous reports were on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Interesting-- I watched the webcast. FYI Darren Krape, a webmaster at the State dept., took some very good notes, and I left a comment there.
