Call for entries--Web Symposium: Blogosphere reactions to the Casino/Integrated Resort decision 2005
ATTENTION: The symposium is closed. A big thank you to everyone who helped in one way or other to make it a success.
The background is in the previous post (see also the comments).
Even if you don't have a suitable entry, you can still help by spreading the word, or advertising this on your own blog.
The symposium is in full swing (UPDATE: correct link)
Nowadays, it's hard to find someone in Singapore without an opinion about the proposed Casino/Integrated Resort. Even those who are really without an opinion find themselves oblidged to say that they don't have an opinion, as if the contrary is the default.
In the interest of furthering discussion on this issue of the day, From A Singapore Angle is organising a Web Symposium and inviting all interested bloggers to submit entries that will be collated together (roughly in a manner analogous to this, but voluntarily). By having many points of view gathered together under one list, the hope is that the netizens's search for information and informed opinions will be facilitated.
Entries published both during the pre-decision debate and after the decision was announced in parliament are welcomed.
INSTRUCTIONS
If you have blog posts germane to the topic and would like to enter it for the symposium, you can really help me by sending an email to me with "Web Symposium" in the subject, and the title of the post, the author, the name of the blog, a short one sentence abstract and the date the post was originally published in exactly the following format:
Once your entry is accepted, please include a hyperlink--something to the effect of:
Looking forward to your participation!
ASIDE: Pretty low tech...yes. But let's see how this goes. Discussions are ongoing for more automated and high tech possibilities.

- <a href="URL">"TITLE"</a> by NAME at BLOG, "ABSTRACT" (DATE)Replacing TITLE, NAME, BLOG, ABSTRACT, DATE with the appropriate infomation. For example (this one is for real, by the way):
- <a href="http://www.educatewandie.com/pivot/entry.php?id=210">"Time to cash in?"</a> by Wandie at educatewandie, "Now that plans have been greenlighted. It's time to ask yourself, '<i>is it time to puat giao tan jiat?</i>'" (Apr 20, 2005)(A bit of html in the abstract is ok, as in the use of the italics above.) I will cut and paste that directly into blogger and it will eventually appear as:
- "Time to cash in?" by Wandie at educatewandie, "Now that plans have been greenlighted. It's time to ask yourself, 'is it time to puat giao tan jiat?'" (Apr 20, 2005)Ideally, the abstract should be informative, giving the reader a sense of your position or point of view. And if the entry is a response to another blog entry, it would also be useful to indicate that. For example: "...in response to Jane NetCitizen's economic argument for NOT building IRs."
Once your entry is accepted, please include a hyperlink--something to the effect of:
For the Web Symposium: Blogosphere reactions to the Casino/Integrated Resort decision 2005somewhere in the entry itself. [UPDATE: I've decided to (manually) trackback after all, so this is not necessary; though still welcomed.]
Looking forward to your participation!
