In order to spread the word about the two awesome widgets Democratic National Convention -- on a Big Tent blog widget, the other a Qik video widget -- I'll be on hand, in person, today showing people the widgets and getting folks excited about them.

As a reminder, the first widget, which I think is ground-breaking, is called the "Qik Convention Widget." This widget consolidates and streams live video from the DNC as mobile phone users capture it using Qik's phone to web service.

The second, Big Tent Widget, consolidates feeds from nearly 200 bloggers, new media journalists and nonprofit leaders credentialed for the Big Tent, the 9,000 square-foot new media center hosted by Progress Now, Daily Kos, the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado, and sponsored by Digg, Google, NewsGator, and others.  Also, it shows the latest content first, with priority on hot topics and popular blogs, through smart filtering technology.

Reminder: you can place the Big Tent widget on your blog or start page by clicking the "get" this button on the widget above; you can place the Qik Convention Widget on your blog/start page by clicking here.
