Last week, President-elect Obama appointed Kevin Werbach, assistant professor of legal studies and business ethics at Wharton, and Susan Crawford, who teaches communications and Internet law at the University of Michigan, to co-chair his FCC transition team. In preparation for his incoming administration, the two, both seasoned Net Neutrality advocates, will be tasked with providing information on U.S. government Internet and telecom policies, along with advising on budgetary and personnel matters.Other than the part where they're Net Neutrality advocates, my favorite part is that the guy is in two guilds in WoW. Let's just hope he's on Horde side, hehe. Secondly lifehacker just mentioned today that Monty Python will now have it's very own official high quality Youtube channel.

yay! good news for a change!
Yeah, there are quite a few reports about prominent technology experts joining the Obama administration for the tech department.
It's all very motivating, I mean, the way that the internet has blossomed, it will be nice to see an administration start utilizing all these wonderful means of communication to help run the country more efficiently.
On I especially like how this guy makes the point that WoW is a good source of ideas because here you have an online community with very specific objectives NOT afraid to try out new things. It's that open attitude that I hope echoes throughout the new FCC.
Yeah good news! Who knew it still existed? =D
