I'd forgotten about this

Just came across a call for speakers at a conference in Ottawa in March of 2010. About how government can use Web 2.0 social media to communicate.

Hmmm....you know, here's my take. In the Soviet Union they used to have a saying: "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work".

In other words, when there is a disconnect between policy and reality, no amount of blogging or emailing or Twittering or Facebooking will work. That's it. Keep it real. Keep it honest.
