We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government. I direct the Chief Technology Officer, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Administrator of General Services, to coordinate the development by appropriate executive departments and agencies, within 120 days, of recommendations for an Open Government Directive, to be issued by the Director of OMB, that instructs executive departments and agencies to take specific actions implementing the principles set forth in this memorandum. The independent agencies should comply with the Open Government Directive.

- <number> Some recent research (Universal McCann, 2008). Social media usage is definitely on the rise. Additional research from Annenberg/Center for the Digital Future: Television And The Internet: Importance As Sources Of Information And Entertainment -- After seven years of studying online behavior and attitudes, the Digital Future Report found that the Internet is perceived by users to be a more important source of information for them -- this over all other principal media, including television, radio, newspapers, and books. Types of Online Communities -- Nearly half of online community members said their community is related to their hobbies. Large percentages of members report that their community involves their social lives or professional issues. The Internet: An Aid For Users To Stay Informed About Social Causes? -- Almost all members of online communities (94 percent) said the Internet helps them become more informed about social causes. Are You Participating In New Social Causes Because Of Online Communities? -- Large and growing percentages of online community members (87 percent) are participating in social causes that are new to them since their involvement in online communities began. Social Activism And Participation In Online Communities -- Although many online community members are actively involved in social causes, a lower percentage said that their activism has increased since they began participating in online communities compared to 2006. Has Offline Participation In Social Issues Changed Because Of Online Involvement? -- Although large percentages of Internet users said they participate in online social causes, only 16 percent said that they are involved more often in offline social issues as a result of their online participation. Online Communities: Participation In Non-Profit Organizations -- A growing percentage of online community members report that their participation in non-profit organizations has stayed the same since they started using the Internet. Twenty-one percent of online community members said their involvement in non- profit organizations has increased -- down from 30 percent in 2006. Are Online Communities As Important As The Real World? -- For the second year in a row, a large percentage of members of online communities feel as strongly about their online communities as they do about their real-world communities. Fifty-five percent of online community members said they feel as strongly about their online communities as they feel about their real-world communities -- an increase from 43 percent in 2006.

The first step in positioning is understanding where your audience is now, compared to where you want them to be. Behavior change specialists give us four options in what is, roughly, the Stages of Change Model Pre-contemplation (the issue isn’t even on their radar) Contemplation (where costs and benefits are being weighed, so typically the time when marketers act) Action (when people actually make and implement decisions) Maintenance (support for the action taken)

- “All twitterers are created equal” Graphic by Peter Cho Brave New World of Digital Intimacy http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/magazine/07awareness-t.html?_r=2&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin&oref=slogin New York Times, September 5, 2008 Social scientists have a name for this sort of incessant online contact. They call it “ambient awareness.” It is, they say, very much like being physically near someone and picking up on his mood through the little things he does — body language, sighs, stray comments — out of the corner of your eye. Facebook is no longer alone in offering this sort of interaction online. In the last year, there has been a boom in tools for “microblogging”: posting frequent tiny updates on what you’re doing. The phenomenon is quite different from what we normally think of as blogging, because a blog post is usually a written piece, sometimes quite long: a statement of opinion, a story, an analysis. But these new updates are something different. They’re far shorter, far more frequent and less carefully considered. One of the most popular new tools is Twitter, a Web site and messaging service that allows its two-million-plus users to broadcast to their friends haiku-length updates — limited to 140 characters, as brief as a mobile-phone text message — on what they’re doing. These activities may seem inane to some, but they carry the power of immediate connection.

Nearly half of the biggest social networking sites are also among the fastest growing, according to data released Wednesday by Nielsen Online. These top sites have also expanded beyond the youthful audience the social networking space initially captured — to find a place in older visitors’ professional lives. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Reunion.com are most popular among visitors ages 25-34, 35-49, and 55-64, respectively, Nielsen reported.
