    Speaking of the internet and Margot Wallström, European Commissioner and member of the Social Democratic Party of Sweden, we shot this video of her earlier this year:

    Now one of Sweden's most read social democratic bloggers, Jonas Morian, writes about the PES manifesto2009 consultation. He highlights Yourspace as a welcome initiative to increase the significance of the European parties. Thumbs up!

    Journal d'un Chou from France has found Yourspace and sends PES and the manifesto2009 consultation some good vibrations:

    "...est à marquer absolument d'une pierre blanche car une véritable révolution démocratique est en train de s'opérer. Une nouvelle façon de parler de politique au niveau européen est en train d'apparaître et c'est le PSE, c'est-à-dire tous les socialistes européens qui en sont le moteur."

    We salute you!

    Yourspace and open source social democracy is now entering the blogosphere of Denmark. The social democratic blogger and political activist Mikael Lemberg has joined Yourspace and posts about the 2009 manifesto consultation on his two blogs: Mikael-Lemberg.dk and Dansk Politik TV. Thanks for spreading the word!

    It is vital to Yourspace that the word about the website is spread and socialists and social democrats everywhere in Europe hear about the initiative. Luckily, the news about Yourspace are already echoing in Europe's blogosphere!

    First, Jan Marinus Wiersma, member of the European Parliament, dedicated a post to Yourspace. A few days later the Yourspace buzz got to the United Kingdom when both Noel Hatch and and the Labour Movement for Europe wrote about PES and the manifesto consultation. Finally, Henning Meyer and the rest of the Social Europe Blog team have let their readers know about Yourspace and even submitted a piece about participatory democracy to this page.

    Thanks a million for your efforts.
