Big Tent expands to Google+

Big Tent launched 18 months ago as a one-day event near London, bringing together speakers with diverse points of view to debate some of the hot issues relating to the Internet and society. Since then, we’ve taken the idea across the globe, holding events in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and America. We’ve also opened up the discussion to everybody through our YouTube channel - and from this week - on Google+ .

Our new G+ page already features some interesting entries. We’ve posted Kirby Ferguson’s intriguing “Everything is a Remix” video, news about a new art book with images combed from Street View and the story of a crowdsourced homicide reporting platform from Washington, DC.

Google+ will help bring together different voices who might not be able to travel and participate in our regular events. Through the video Hangout tool, we’re planning a series of guest video posts from inspiring thinkers on some of the key issues facing the Internet and society.

Our Big Tent header is "Many points of view, one amazing Internet." Please check it out and consider circling the page and joining in on the conversation.
