I think that the insight here is how far behind the curve government usually is. By the time they notice what is happening things have moved on.

With the tools now available and the speed of updating it’s likely that the people are actually more informed in fast moving situations than their leaders, but it’s distributed.

When it’s big enough things start to get co-ordinated. The protests in major cities in relation to the Gaza/Isreal war show that.

Mike – I’m curious. Do you think the Government can handle social media – or how long will it take our parasitic rulers to bankrupt the internet?

Just curious.

Steve, thanks. I’d like to add your and Maxine’s excellent blogs to the blogroll. It’s amazing to observe how this seemingly innocuous topic has captured the imaginations of so many bright people. Like they say at McDonalds, I’m lovin’ it.

Alan, thanks for contributing. You've done an outstanding job of aggregating a ton of useful info at the You2Gov.org site. Looking forward to learning more. As you note, 3rd party groups need to be the real catalysts for positive change.

Hi. I am the CEO of You2Gov, which is offering government communications and information well past anything that could be called 2.0. What is needed greatly is a real push from outside companies and groups like Kevin's or You2Gov to really drag the government into the future, kicking and screaming it may be!
