Visualization of twitters impact on Egypt's Peoples Peaceful Revolution

What is Citizen 2.0

If you help anyone cross the street.
If you not only clear your side walk you clears a whole block.
Have run for local office that has no pay.
Setup a blog, group, listserv, twitter feed or website in your community.
Work with pay helping your neighbors doing all manner of day to day.
People count on your to get thing done in your community.
Gave of yourself as an emergency responder especially CERT.


You are a citizen 2.0

This was a session about Citizen 2.0

Let's Unconference

Scheduling the day The unconference allows participants to form their own agenda and sessions to more widely share expertise and explore the issues of Civil Society 2.0.

This is the bottom line with regards to all things in the future the Citizen have to get together and form their own agenda as then Biz2.0 Gov2.0 Edu2.0 is all waiting for us.
