  • Why Twitter’s Gov’t Outreach is a Big Win for the Gov 2.0 Movement

    Twitter’s new focus on the politics and policymanking arena is a milestone of which the Government 2.0 movement can be proud.

  • It’s About the Network, and Other Notes on Twitter, Business and Gov 2.0

    Most of what I’m doing on Twitter on a daily basis is working to build community. I’ve also got several other places where I’m doing similar things, but Twitter is definitely the largest pool where I reach out to new people to grow my personal network and evangelize a vision for government reform through social…

  • A Beltway Insider or an Innovator for Twitter in DC?

    There’s been a lot of reading between the lines of Twitter’s job posting for a DC-based government liaison (and even one instance of actual follow-up reporting). One post really caught my attention – because I disagree with it so vehemently. My friend Alan W. Silberberg, a Gov 2.0 innovator and founding organizer of Gov 2.0…

  • Semantic Web: Please Join Me for “List Friends Friday” #LFF #FF

    I’d sorely love to see handcrafted Twitter lists gain widespread popularity. They are incredibly useful not only for managing huge Twitter communities, they also underpin a sector of the 3rd party app community and help create a rich structure of intelligent links throughout the Open Web. In honor of Micah Baldwin’s Follow Friday, I propose…

  • #TwitGov: Fresh Links!

    A very interesting day of buzz over the new Twitter governmental liaison position, with everything from Act.ly petitions to a sort of Microsoft-O’Reilly Media-Twitter Gov 2.0 debate on Mark Drapeau’s blog. @Twitter opened on Monday the with a job post: http://bit.ly/twitgov … Track the #twitgov search … … Cue Wednesday: Mark Drapeau (one of Microsoft’s…

  • Can Twitter Reimagine Democracy? #twitgov

    Twitter’s plan to hire a government liaison (its first DC employee) has set off a a tweetstorm from the U.S. Capitol to London to Tokyo, and likely a flood of resumes into the Web 2.0 firm’s SoMa offices. Some of the Gov 2.0 community’s brightest have already offered great suggestions for how this new Twitter…

  • Social Semantic Web: ‘List Me Monday’? #LMM

    Without going into its continued efficacy, let’s just say that “Follow Friday” on Twitter has become a robust tradition. I’d love to see a tradition emerge around a meaning-rich but underutilized Twitter feature – Lists.Now, lists have been all the rage among power users for some time, but they are far from hitting the pop…

  • Social Media: An Annotated Life

    Anyone actively using social media runs into the balance issue. Mike Rupert, a communications pro for DC local government, brought this up as one of the topics for his LocalGovChat tonight on Twitter:We check Twitter on the train, read through blog comments in our cars, adjust code in restaurants and study analytics in bed, he…

  • Government Social Media: If You Don’t Want to Engage, Don’t Bother

    There has been an unquestionable explosion of government social media use in the last year. Last week, GovTwit, the Twitter directory of government agencies and officials reported 44.9 million followers for the 3,000 IDs it tracks, after starting in 2009 with just a handful of accounts. Still, towns, agencies and leaders not using social media…

  • Future Uncertain for Real-identity Web

    The best-possible future for Gov 2.0 includes individually controlled social media sharing and the ability to turn verified identities on and off. Unlike the heydays of AOL or present of anonymous newspaper commentary, Facebook’s identity system had been helping to slowly change the culture of the Web to persistent use of real identity in social…
