@carakeithley: #gov20 one of the concerns I am hearing is that if you “choose” to use Twitter etc, you put competitors at a disadvantage. How do I address?

#gov20 the argument is that socmed tools are not free, we are paying in eyeballs and shouldn’t we have to assess and then award an agreement

#gov20 it floors me that government agencies would choose to look at social media this way. Any resources to point to for help with this?

@g2tt: @CaraKeithley “the argument is that socmed tools are not free, we are paying in eyeballs” can you explain… offer example? #gov20

@carakeithley: It is hard to explain #gov20 to people who don’t get it or are scared. I need to get over that if I am going to advance the mission for OH.
