Event summary: Network organizations create better online campaigns

The February Net Tuesday was epic! We were forced to upgrade our venue because we sold out twice, and then we had our founder Joe Solomon make a last-minute appearance from San Francisco.

Huge thanks to Jason Mogus (Communicopia) for presenting his thoughts on an alternative model for building movement organizations, and to guest stars Joe Solomon (vagabond!) and Reilly Yeo (OpenMedia.ca) for their stories.

Our social media volunteer Kelvin Claveria did a twitter recap using storify.
