Civic Participation made too simple?
It does seem barely possible that civic participation could be made too simple, but that thought certainly arose from a rather cool app I was just alerted to - http://2gov.org/ Basically if you tweet and include the tag @2gov, the app will send your tweet to your local representative. Currently, it seems to be being used mainly to say either that obama's healthcare reforms are great or that they suck. So to what extent will all those messages help anyone? Even rather more meaningful...
