We'll try to pick up on some of the loose ends above and we'll use #usnow if you want to follow from afar. http://usnowparliament.eventbrite.com/ There’s a More4 / Reboot Britain event in similar territory tonight in the Houses of Parliament around a screening of Ivo Gormley’s film ‘Us Now’ (which is being Broadcast on More 4 this Friday night 10th July).

And thanks for allowing Twitter participation - that was great. A shame some people used that just to be sweary, stupid and so on. I've no idea if anything can be done about that. A point about Twitter questions, though. You'll think I'm a mad, raging angry punter because I've raised this a few times: but I'm not. I just keep going on about it because your replies to me on Twitter so far make it look as though you've not "got" my point. You invited Twitter questions; I and no doubt other sent them in; the end of the debate you asked for any final Twitter questions; later you apologised to people for not being able to ask the questions and tweeted me that you didn't get close to asking them all. So I know (1) that you had a big list of unasked questions including mine (2) that at the end of the debate you still thought you might have time to ask a Twitter question or two but (3) that you felt you needed more Twitter questions. Can you see how that makes me feel my question was somehow not good enough, if you needed more? I think the way to avoid people getting the feeling their question has been rejected is just to say upfront that you'll pick questions you like! If you have an idea of the subjects you'd like covered (I got the impression you wanted to steer the debate away from blogging towards campaigning, other types of web-democracy etc.) then just say so! Explaining after the fact by saying there wasn't enough time left me feeling you weren't being straight - your asking for more questions shows is wasn't about time.
