PROBLEMS
-Is anyone listening? Lots of people complain/provide feedback. Who is monitoring the social networks?
-What would be the best approach to bring change within the Government of Canada?
-Department politics and policy makers are a big barrier
-The volume (web based) is difficult to manage
-The policy is outdated. Documentation requirements is overkill
-Access to Information and Official Language policies need consideration
-Metrics. How to you measure the noise?

Laconica (pronounced "luh-KAWN-ih-kuh") is a Free and Open Source microblogging platform. It helps people in a community, company or group to exchange short (140 character) messages over the Web. Users can choose which people to "follow" and receive only their friends' or colleagues' status messages. It provides a similar service to sites like Twitter, Jaiku, and Plurk. http://laconi.ca/trac/ -
