Government 2.0
Tim O'Reilly over at O'Reilly Radar wrote a thought provoking piece on applying the Web 2.0 social-media spirit to community activism. I've had similar thoughts as of late and hope to introduce you to a new project of mine shortly.
In the mean time, hopefully you'll find Tim's article inspiring. A couple of interesting quotes:
Now is the time for a renewal of our commitment to make our own institutions, our own communities, and our own difference. There's a kind of passivity even to our activism: we think that all we can do is to protest. Collective action has come to mean collective complaint. Or at most, a collective effort to raise money.
But let's not forget that we ourselves are the raw material of collective action.
