Rebooting Sweden ? (@thieulin) Comment une jeune bloggeuse suédoise boulevers... - 0 views

  • Les "Swedish Netroots" - c'est ainsi qu'ils se baptisent eux-mêmes - sont très actifs mais ont souvent du mal à percer dans les autres médias. Il y a trois jours, un pallier a toutefois été franchi. Emilie, une jeune bloggeuse, a écrit un billet revenant sur la perte de l'assurance santé de sa mère. En Suède, l'Etat providence est fort et d'importants programmes nationaux couvrent les besoins des personnes ayant perdu leur emploi en raison d'un problème de santé.
  • Jusqu'à ces derniers jours, le blog d'Emilie ne provoquait pas l'attention particulière des internautes et plus généralement des Suédois. Mais quelques heures après ce billet intitulé Sveket (http://klamydiabrevet.blogspot.com/2010/09/sveket.html), tout a changé. En seulement une journée, il a été partagé 20 000 fois sur Facebook. Deux jours plus tard, les quotidiens du soir ont repris cette histoire dans leurs éditions, comme le relate sur dans son billet (http://www.americablog.com/2010/09/how-blog-post-is-changing-swedish.html), le célèbre blogueur américain, John Aravosis.
  • Hier matin, le plus grand titrage du pays, AftonBladet, plaçait cette histoire à la une de son édition.picture.Tout un dispositif digital s'est mis en place avec une page facebook dédiée et une vidéo virale sur Youtube relatant cette histoire.

MediaShift . Local Politicians Use Social Media to Connect with Voters - 1 views

  •  
    Smith's community isn't the only smaller city or town to find itself suffering form a lack of local press. While the New York City mayoral election attracts interest from the New York Times, elsewhere the media landscape has changed drastically, thanks to the shuttering of smaller newspapers that were traditionally the source of local political coverage. In some places, social media is being used to try and replace some of what has been lost in terms of professional reporting.

The Obama Disconnect: What Happens When Myth Meets Reality - 1 views

  •  
    As 2009 comes to a close, and with it, the first year of the Obama administration, one big question seems to be hanging over the man who said he had "The Audacity to Hope," and promised his supporters "Change We Can Believe In." That question can be summed up with two simple pictures.

@digiactive what do you think about @evgenymorozov blog post "From slacktivism to activ... - 0 views

  • I've grown increasingly skeptical of numerous digital activism campaigns that attempt to change the world through Facebook and Twitter.
  • He started a Facebook group, which implied – but never stated so explicitly – that the city authorities were planning to dismantle the fountain, which of course was NEVER the case. He seeded the group to 125 friends who joined in a matter of hours; then it started spreading virally. In the first few days, it immediately went to a 1000 members and then it started growing more aggressively. After 3 days, it began to grow with over 2 new members each minute in the day time. When the group reached 27.500 members, Jørgensen decided to end the experiment. So there you have it: almost 28,000 people joined a cause that didn't really exist!
  • "just like we need stuff to furnish our homes to show who we are, on Facebook we need cultural objects that put together a version of me that I would like to present to the public."

  • acebook users shape their online identity implicitly rather than explicitly
  • This shopping binge in an online identity supermarket has led to the proliferation of what I call “slacktivism”, where our digital effort make us feel very useful and important but have zero social impact
  • In a perfect world, this shouldn't even be considered a problem: better donate a penny than not to donate at all. The problem, however, is that the granularity of contemporary digital activism provides too many easy way-outs: too many people decide to donate a penny where they may otherwise want to donate a dollar
  • The problem is that most of these campaigns do not have clear goals or agenda items beyond awareness-raising.
  • Asking for money could also undermine one's efforts to engage groups members in more meaningful real-life activities: the fact that they have already donated some money, no matter how little, makes them feel as if they have already done their bit and should be left alone
  • Some grassroots campaigns are beginning to realize it: for example, the web-site of "Free Monem", a 2007 pan-Arab initiative to free an Egyptian blogger from jail carried a sign that said “DON'T DONATE; Take action” and had logos of Visa and MasterCard in a crossed red circle in the background
  • his was a way to show that their campaign needed more than money as well as to shame numerous local and international NGOs that like to raise money to “release bloggers from jail”, without having any meaningful impact on the situation on the ground.
  • Psychologists offer an interesting explanation as to why a million people working together may be less effective than one person working alone. They call this phenomenon “social loafing”.
  • Reading about Ringelmann's experiments, I realized that the same problem plagues much of today's “Facebook” activism:
  • For example, FreeRice, a web-site affiliated with the UN Food Program
  • This is a brilliant approach: millions of people rely on the Internet to study English anyway and most of them wouldn't mind being exposed to online advertising in exchange for a useful service. Both sides benefit, with no high words exchanged. Those who participate in the effort are not driven by helping the world and have a very selfish motivation; yet, they probably generate more good than thousands of people who are “fighting” hunger via Facebook. While this model may not be applicable to every situation, it's by finding practical hybrid models like FreeRice's that we could convert immense and undeniable collective energy of Internet users into tangible social change.

    Thursday, May 21st, 2009 at 1:00 pm Transparency and Open Government Vivek Kundra, our Chief Information Officer, and Beth Noveck, Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Open Government, explain the Open Government Initiative On January 21, 2009, his first full day in office, the President issued a Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government and called for recommendations for making the Federal government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. As Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to the President says in the video below, we are proud "to announce an important next step in this historic call to action - one that will help us achieve a new foundation for our government - a foundation built on the values of transparency, accountability and responsibility." The Administration is committed to developing those recommendations in an open fashion. Consistent with the President's mandate, we want to be fully transparent in our work, participatory in soliciting your ideas and expertise, and collaborative in how we experiment together to use new tools and techniques for developing open government policy. Today we are kicking off an unprecedented process for public engagement in policymaking on the White House website. In a sea change from conventional practice, we are not asking for comments on an already-finished set of draft recommendations, but are seeking fresh ideas from you early in the process of creating recommendations. We will carefully consider your comments, suggestions, and proposals. Here's how the public engagement process will work. It will take place in 3 phases: Brainstorming, Discussion, and Drafting. Beginning today, we will have a brainstorming session for suggesting ideas for the open government recommendations. You can vote on suggested ideas or add your own. Then on June 3rd, the most compelling ideas from the brainstorming will be fleshed out on a weblog in a discussion phase. On June 15th, we will invite you to use a wiki t

10 principles for a Public Administration 2.0 (via @fondapol) - 0 views

  • A decalogue like a work in progress, to promote the idea and the principles of a new Public Administration more able to act and operate in the era of the Nets. This is the “Manifesto Amministrare 2.0”
  • The Venetian event permitted to collect a lot of ideas and suggestions useful to the writing of the document. First of all, anyway, it was very important to understand that many italian Administrations, and inside them politicians, managers and civil servants, are strongly convinced that the Public Administration need to embrace, at least partially, that “web 2.0 philosophy” who is changing the web and, more important, the life of organizations, enterprises and millions of people
  • The role of politics Politicians must be able to take responsibility of their choices. The organizational dimension Public Administrations must change their organization and their procedures, pursuing a new idea of relationship with citizens and abandoning the self-approach. The Net as a right The access to the Net, specially to broadband, must be easy and cheap everywhere. Beyond the cultural divide Citizens must be helped to develop a new digital culture. The involvement of citizens There’s no Public Administration 2.0 without a strong intervention in favour of participation. The multi-channel approach as opportunity Service are really tailored if there’s attention to the channels more appropriate for the different users’ target. Disintermediation to better act To promote a Public Administration no more “one way” and finally “2.0” is important to foster a bigger disintermediation between institutions and citizens. Re-start form the semantics of public contents The semantics presentation of public information, services and contents must be conceived with the final users and open to folksonomies. Software as enabling factor Software used in public sector must be open and re-usable by other administrations. Foster the development of active communities User groups and social networks must be considered as a fundamental stimulus to design public web services, starting from their desires and indications.

RT @palpitt Obama: Donate your Twitter icon for stimulus http://is.gd/8E5Ac /via @Laure... - 0 views

  • o mark the anniversary of last year's stimulus package, Democrats have been pushing a chart comparing monthly job loss figures under George W. Bush and under President Obama. Now Obama -- or at least his Twitter persona, run by the Democratic National Committee -- is about to ask supporters to help out.
  • "OFA supporters are donating their Twitter pictures to mark the anniversary of the #RecoveryAct. Change yours here: http://bit.ly/b-E," the @BarackObama Twitter page will ask its 3.3 million followers Wednesday evening, a source tells Salon.
  • The idea is to spread awareness, virally and visually, of the way the administration says the stimulus bill helped pull the economy back from the edge of an abyss. The numbers to produce the chart came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. "The graph tells a convincing story of how we are on the road to recovery," a Democratic source says.
