“Harnessing the power of the Internet for better communication” – Here is an interesting open letter (in case you have not seen it on twitter…) from the European Commission’s Internet editors and webmasters to Commission President Barroso and incoming Commissioners in which they ask for more web 2.0 in EU institutions… Read it here.
I think it is a very good initiative. There are a lot of opportunities for EU institutions by engaging with web tools. Unfortunately there is still a rather widespread skepticism among politicians and officials despite a few good examples how to use web 2.0 tools successfully. Hopefully this letter will contribute to a rethink in the institutions. Moreover, this would also be a good topic to bring up during the Commission-designate hearings in the European Parliament this week…
