- The Parl Library are fast today! Prof Chen's talk is up: Gov 2.0: Online engagement or neo-liberal trojan horse http://t.co/To6Q3Bl #gov2au #
- Chen: adhocracies work for short term practical projects, but have bad long term impact on democratic participation #gov2au #
- Chen: points for consideration 1) Roles/relationship between citizens & gov 2) Gov as platform for coordinated innovation/engagement #gov2au #
- Chen: public debate is undermined by the public competition for personal benefits. #gov2au <~ Interesting theory. #
- Chen: issue with public sphere is that ppl need to be able to agree on def of public good, "Habermas' public sphere was a boys club" #gov2au #
- Chen: governmental can engage with existing online public sphere. But many who talk about public spheres don't define what they mean #gov2au #
- Chen: It's assumed there is a decline in public democratic participation, but party membership not a good/true measurement #gov2au #
- I'm actually quite impressed with Chen thus far, he has a tech bent on #gov20 but also quite thoughtful & insightful in his analysis #gov2au #
- Chen: production of content used to be prepare, edit, publish, but social media is prepare, publish & engage ppl in iterative edits #gov2au #
- Chen: Obama had radical web campaign but most funds still from trad sources, was tightly controlled. Not as bleeding edge as assumed #gov2au #
- Chen: internet is disruptive tech, eg undermined traditional news model, pressure to do more for less & journos more reliant on pr #gov2au #
- He's looking at #gov20 tech facilitated democracy in Australia, underlying assumptions implications. Says #gov2au based on several premise #
- Listening to Prof Peter Chen "online engagement, or a neo-liberal Trojan horse". He's saying our relationship to tech has changed #gov2au #

- 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? #
