- Why Governments Have Failed at Crowdsourcing
- Posted by Robert Singleton. GovLoop, December 20, 2011. "Two Words: User Acquisition - Local, state and national Governments have yet to fully take advantage of the many platforms available for crowd sourcing policy primarily because they have failed to court a significant enough user base to generate a genuine and sustained online community. Without a diverse enough, self-regulating community of users who are continually participating in the creation and editing of content, many sites, specifically those who focus on a single jurisdiction or municipality, have simply become one stop suggestion boxes. This is helpful and to some extent valuable, but primitive in its overall effect on the governing process..."

- The Future of Gov 2.0: iGov2s?
- By John Sheridan - AGIMO Blog, 31 October 2011. "Last week, I spoke at CeBIT’s annual Gov 2 conference, held here in Canberra... My mission was to talk about the Future of Gov 2.0 in the Australian Government context. My slides are available at the end of this post.

- Let tech-savvy citizenry remake dysfunctional governments
- by Chrystia Freeland. From Friday's Globe and Mail, Thursday, Aug. 18, 2011. "... But some people are examining the woes of the Western state through a different prism. Call it the Government 2.0 approach. Its fundamental thesis is that the biggest question is not how much to spend or tax, but how to adapt the state to the information age. One of the first to articulate this view was best-selling author Don Tapscott, who has been arguing for decades that the knowledge economy requires a new style of government. He thinks the time may have finally come..."

- Open Data and New Public Management
- by David Eaves. eaves.ca, 26 August 2011. "This morning I got an email thread pointing to an article by Justin Longo on #Opendata: Digital-Era Governance Thoroughbred or New Public Management Trojan Horse? I'm still digesting it all but wanted to share some initial thoughts. The article begins with talking about he benefit of open data but its real goal is to argue that open data is a pawn in a game to revive the New Public Management Reform Agenda... What I found disappointing about the article is its binary approach to the problem. Open data may support a theory/approach to public management the author does not like, and therefor (by inference of the title and tone of the article) it must be bad or, at least, we must be wary of it. This is akin to saying any technology that could be used to advance an approach I don't support, must be opposed..."
