Australia: Mosman Council Twitter Guidelines
Quite a different slant from the 40 Social Media Guidelines for Staff, here are Mosman Council laying out their guidelines for following @mosmancouncil on Twitter: Stop following me!

Brazil eGov: Public Works and Internet Voting
I’m always interested in metaGovernment. That’s not where a politician chats on Twitter or does broadcast YouTube videos or widgets for fund raising – but where voters are asked to make a difference to their own country other than donating or voting. Brazil (Portugese) (English) has something a little similar to Future of Melbourne project:…

I’ts not about using social networks to push agency media, nor is it one way “PM to voter”. Web 2.0 is interaction PM…

BuyMyShitPile
@dahowlett retweeting @dbfarber: BuyMyShitPile.com @hwakelam (Harriet) and I are giggling at WebDirections South 08 instead of listening to the speaker, we are perusing BuyMyShitPile. With our economy in crisis, the US Government is scrambling to rescue our banks by purchasing their “distressed assets”, i.e., assets that no one else wants to buy from them. We…
