Online Approaches for Inviting and Collecting Public Input
I was invited to present last week at the University of Maryland's Human Computer Interaction Lab's workshop on Government and Social Media. We had a great discussion about how government agencies are using social media, and how the research community can support their efforts. We also saw some very cool examples of how to use NodeXL to map and understand social networks. Here is a nice summary of the event.
Below is an abridged version of my presentation on new ways government agencies are using online approaches to invite, collect, and respond to public input.

A nice presentation. The fact is that governments across the world are beginning to embrace social mdeia platforms and so they should. It is a modern and intelligent way of commuincating cheaply (which is important in these days of budgetin cuts) and helps get the message across to a particular social demographic. We operate a social media offering at http://www.rmgseo.com. We have been approached by local government to assist in the implimentation of ways in which local services can be communicated to younger audiences. One of the key problems faced as I see it is how this can be applied across a broad range of services which includes the social classes whom would not nessasaily have access to socail media - it is an evolving process.
