  • RT to @actwonkdrinks: @damonism: @piawaugh I'm generally in favor, but might need a more discussion-friendly venue than a noisy pub. #
  • Love the second video. RT Climate Change Commercials Shouldn't Be So Depressing http://t.co/twTiezl (@GOOD stuff) #
  • Awww! The ball bit is like watching a kitty play! RT @timbo2002 As a human i feel a bit redundant watching this video: http://t.co/0Kg4zzq #

  • :) RT DelibThinks Thnx to @solutist @craigthomler @piawaugh @FergusHogarth @Gov2Vic for taking part in http://t.co/dUkpoIp #Gov2au ;-) #
  • NBN in Gungahlin information evening tonight! #nbn #broadband http://t.co/UCeCsEU #
  • Had a rant about politics vs democracy to @grogsgamut after Prof Macnamara & @jason_a_w preso. That's what happens when phone batteries die! #
  • Fair call RT dmottolini: @piawaugh also simplified access. So much info is out there but gov fails on the accessibility and user experience. #
  • Is answer to have better more engaged education about democracy/gov at school? @Paris_David @damonism @jason_a_w @GrogsGamut @jovianshadow #
  • "There is no mass audience anymore" and "people are themselves participants now" @Paris_David @damonism @jason_a_w @GrogsGamut @jovianshadow #

  • .@jason_a_w making great point about how western democracies are now "post-broadcast" /cc @Paris_David @damonism @GrogsGamut @jovianshadow #
  • Thoughts for Macnamara. 1) politics vs democracy/gov 2) network analysis to create context 3) value of social media for applied purpose #
  • Macnamara isn't really differentiating between campaigning online & #Gov20 One's political, one's about democracy & how gov serves citizens #
  • Totally! RT @Davidramli: @piawaugh You know what film would be awesome with Bruce Campbell in the lead role? All of them. #
  • Macnamara says IT ppl often not friendly. I think until tech depts are seen as enablers rather than just cost centre it will be hard #gov2au #
  • Macnamara is talking about how even though online makes things available, the stats are still low in terms of online engagement.#gov2au #
  • Macnamara: most fake pollie accounts outed very quickly, this says a lot about credibility online. Perhaps its harder to trick ppl online? #
  • Can anyone explain to me why punching a punching bag for 10 minutes would make a normally mild hand tremor quite unworkable? #
  • Listening to Prof Jim Macnamara & @jason_a_w. New word: cyperbole.I'm going to have to post the first of my online culture series tonight :) #

  • .@EllyfromOZ i.e. it's not a matter of suck or not. We all have a part to play in democracy & the more ppl participating the better it'll be #
  • .@EllyfromOZ I think we too easily divvy world into dualistic perspectives which make it hard to understand that life (& gov) is complex :) #
