Social Media, Free Speech, and Governments

Interesting case studies on how to use (and perhaps not use) social media in government - Charlotte NC is going down one path and Mecklenburg county (where Charlotte is located) is going down a different path. Good article here: http://bit.ly/cmP53c

Kudos to North Bay Nugget

Nice position on comments on their articles by the North Bay Nugget. Yes - they want to encourage comments. And, yes, they reserve the right to help ensure the comments are moving the dialogue forward.

Well phrased here: http://www.nugget.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2568341

Good to see that more and more people are encouraging civil and thoughtful dialogue and taking reasonable steps to facilitate this.

Thanks!
