Gov2.0 and Northern Voice

Great session this morning at Northern Voice, Gov 2.0 – Politics, Policy and Social Media in Canada: A Multi-Level Exploration, featuring David Eaves as moderator, with Raul Pacheco-Vega, Ian Capstick, Tanya Twynstra, and the most excellent Andrea Reimer.

More later, but for now, a couple of images from Andrea Reimer’s presentation. (Did I mention that it was great?)

Finally, Reimer’s last slide: “speak to councillors and the public . . . not to each other” : an exhortation to get out of the echo chamber? This is actually one of the hardest pieces to actualize…

  4. And such a big beak, too (although you didn’t speak at all)!

    No worries, you didn’t obstruct anything for me. I could see all of Andrea Reimer’s slides – wow, she kicks ass – but is fair to fowl. ;-)
