Social media - the good, the bad and the ugly
 
I am interested in hearing from those councils who have taken the plunge and used social media. The senior exec are often frightened of using this medium due to it's uncontrollable nature however I think there is a lot to be gained especially with event promotion and possibly even consultation. I want to hear from those who have had success and also the horror stories.

Fabulous idea! I think we are planning a session, if not have one already worked out where Bern De Broglio from Mosman & Diana Mounter will be talking about using some of these tools, and I think it will be covered in another session about online community engagement.Check outt he Speakers page to see who we have lined up so far:

I would also be very interested in seeing what other Councils are doing in relation to Social Media and who has started the Social Media Policy Process... Topic - Social Media - the new forum for community consultation!
