I took some of the protest in Seattle on a Digital camera but I left it a work. Anybody know where I can send them tommorow?

In the U.S. you might want to check hiptop nation for immediate protest coverage via cell phones (the Danger Hiptop in this case). I've been posting my pics from the protests there [1, 2, 3, 4], and hopefully more hiptop users will do the same tomorrow.
Also a writeup about the NYPD's less-than-graceful handling of the situation: too many protestors to fit in the neat little pens they set up. "Sorry folks, protest closed, go home." Uh, not in my country.

I remember last year hearing that this was the next wave of journalism, that some major event would happen and it'd be recorded by thousands of people with their cell phone cameras.
I remember it being at a Journalism 2.0 talk of some sort. Who gets the cred?

The Police say 750,000, the organisers of the demo say over 2 million. The truth's going to be somewhere in between, but even at the most conservative estimate it's still by far the biggest demo ever in the UK. Although I suspect it will have no effect on Tony Blair.
