– So keep using older tools, too• It’s where the people are
– 100,000,000 daily YouTube views– 300,000,000 active Facebook users

transparent, participatory government

How?• It’s communication, not tech
• Trust: employees, the public
• Experiment
• Define tool-specific measures of success
– It’s all about engagement
– Return on investment is (usually) the wrong question (return on engagement is usually the right question)
