The folks at Kent very kindly asked me to guest blog over at their innovation site – The post goes into some ideas around choice architecture and what this means for democratic spaces – all very relevant I think to Virtual Town Hall stuff. Full post can be found here.

I am researcher trying to figure out if all this web 2.0 noise can be directed to do something that connects to formal democracy. I am exploring tensions between formal and informal participation, online and offline engagement and generally trying out ways to get people engaged with democracy. I am sure if we all think really hard we will be able to figure out something useful eventually!!!
