Innovation and Participation: Embracing the Civic Web
summary
Expert Labs builds an open source ThinkTank platform (led by Gina Trapani) that aggregates social networks so officials and citizens can crowdsource policy ideas; a pilot tied to the White House Grand Challenges collects 2,000+ responses via social channels plus ~700 by email, mobilizes several dozen core developers and hundreds of contributors, and shows that combining important questions with accessible prompts yields an order-of-magnitude increase in participation.
