@dancharles: @dslunceford There should be greater transparency, twitter is a tool. Problem is… #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford Problem is how to maintain security. People get sloppy. Think congress critter that announced secret Iraq/Afgan trip #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford People also misspeak. Admin officials who mistweet could go to jail. It becomes thorny legal/NS mess. #gov20

@dslunceford: @dancharles Don’t buy that arguement. No diff than other security issues WH deals with using other channels to comm to citizens #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford Also, laws govern retention of electronic communications. Twitter doesn’t save messages long enough yet #gov20

@dslunceford: @dancharles SocMed sites like Twitter, FB, etc are nothing more than new channels, establishing process/regs takes care of security #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford These are problems to be worked out, not reasons to not have the transparency and use the tools #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford Agreed #gov20

@dslunceford: @dancharles How is mistweeting diff than misspeaking to reporter or on blog? #gov20

@dancharles: @dancharles yes, various laws and Fed regs limit what can be done now, but that can be changed; see NYTimes: http://bit.ly/EbtNa #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford Mistweeting isn’t different. But, gov blogs have legal review, press lesions are limited. legal consequences exist #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford Agreed, transparency requires changes to legal frameworks. Criminalization of political discourse is problem to solve #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford Currently, FB & Twitter are blocked by WH URL/IP filtering. Was huge outcry on 1/21 by new staffers. #gov20

@dslunceford: @dancharles as @almacy (former Bush WH Internet guru) has pointed out, tech isn’t the problem, it’s policy http://bit.ly/mPwGm #gov20

@dancharles: @dslunceford Again, agreed. Policy & legal issues need resolution in favor of transparency/dialog/using tools available effectively #gov20

@AFPAA: You want #gov20? #afpaww is 350 Air Force Public Affairs folks learning social media, power of imagery from DOD right now. Cool.

Cool stuff. Looks like Ask The President was a hot story. That’s a cool site. Got to check out Fast Company this month.

Silanthia

Yeah it was. I’m also trying to group conversations when I see them so that it is a bit easier to follow. I think there are some pertinent points that are raised sometimes that need to be captured.
