At the first ever Open Video Conference, held at New York University in Manhattan, participants pondered the significance of the open media movement, at a time when its tools are being put to use by protesters in Iran.

ThoughtCast spoke with the new media guru Jonathan Zittrain, who’s a professor at Harvard Law School; Xeni Jardin, of Boing Boing fame; and Peter Kaufman, the CEO of Intelligent Television, among several others, about the potential of this movement to effect social change.
