If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a YouTube video is worth conference fees and several hours of your life -- particularly when it's bringing you a fascinating panel from NCOC about Facebook's role in and impact on civic engagement.

That's right ... today's post is the as-promised third installment of our NCOC coverage, from our introduction, to Kristen's event notes, to the final video of Bill Galston, Sean Parker, and Joe Trippi (see below). So far, the comments and reactions here have been really thoughtful, even extending into posts/threads over at Beth's Blog and PhilanTopic.

So give this choice piece of cinema a look-see, and then check out the rest of Kristen's coverage after the fold!
