I hope that governments will take their cue from this pamphlet and become ever more open and transparent. If we could empower the majority of the population to become empowered critics, petitioners, activists, and otherwise engaged in government online, then perhaps we could finally break down participation barriers, and we really would have a government "By the people" and "For the people." :) Mazarine Dear Amy,

Andy Gibson, the other co-author, has recently released Local by Social, a pamphlet focused specifically on local governments using social media. When we originally wrote Social by Social we had the intention of writing additional chapters for specific audiences, and this is the first instance of it. You can read about it or download the section here: http://sociability.org.uk/2010/03/16/local-by-social/ Thanks again :) Thanks so much for sharing Social by Social, Mazarine!

Thank you so much for leaving such a great comment! I love how your answer created the paradox, give up control, yet people want control.

My favourite part is the <a href="http://www.socialbysocial.com/book/social-by-social-propositions" rel="nofollow">propositions</a> that we wrote as conversations starters. Here's the first three: 1. Give up on the illusion of control. In a networked world, organisations can no longer control what people think or say about them. If you’re worried, get involved. 2. People make technology matter. Think about mindset, language and skills before you think about tools, features and screen designs. Don’t jump for the tool. 3. People want control. If you give them tools for taking more control of their lives, they will pay you back in attention, support, promotion and even hard cash. Amy and I are now developing http://socialbysocial.net. Hope you'll join us there. Really delighted you like socialbysocial. My favourite part is the propositions that we wrote as conversations starters. Here’s the first three:
