MAN CRUSH: Ethan Zuckerman

And I'm only mildly embarrassed to admit it. Welcome to a new semi-regular (i.e., I do it when I feel like it) feature on the blog. If I can highlight female role models, why I can't I share a man crush or two? If "man crush" makes you feel uncomfortable, how about "aspiring bro-mance?"

No?

I don't know the guy, never spoken with him. I exchanged a couple of emails with him a long time ago, doubt he'd even remember. But I know some of his colleagues. And what he's talking about is what I try to do in my job, albeit on a much smaller scale.

I still listen to the podcast he did with Christoper Lydon and Solana Larsen at Brown University. But I saw this on AIDG Blog and I really liked it. It's long, but if you really care about what social media can do for the world, you'll watch the whole thing.

I had the chance to meet Ethan at Harvard a few years back, when he sat down to listen to me talk about my idea for StoryBlogging (to combine blogging and oral history). An amazing man, and very inspiring. Count me in on the crush.
