Philip Weiss commented on Helen Dunnett's blog post 'American policy making is now open and online'

Very interesting interview. I agree with Helen that this should be compulsory listening for the lobbyists and officials in Brussels. Maybe a good starting point for the next Web2EU event.

Philip Weiss replied to Be IABC's discussion 'Hyperthinking in 2010' in the group Hyperthinkers at IABC
