Usually I come across in 140 characters, but this takes much more.

I have so many emotions bubbling over right now about what it has been like to be a part of these historic conventions as a blogger, a woman, a new media staffer for C-SPAN via NMS, a social scientific observer of the on- and off-line coverage, an online community manager… the list goes on. The resounding support and interest from friends, family, colleagues and online-goers has been incredible.

I will surely write more soon. But for now, I leave you with this, a very proud moment. Sharing the screen with C-SPAN Co-President Susan Swain, is an honor, privilege and experience I will never forget.

Full disclosure: C-SPAN’s DNC and RNC Hubs designed by the one and only, Big Idea Guy, visionary, design genius and my partner in crime, Jesse Thomas.
