SHOW NOTES

Media Cause’s Lindsay Crudele joins regulars Dustin Haisler, Paul Taylor, Anil Chawla and Eyragon Eidam to discuss Boston's social media practices. Crudele was present when the city first embraced social media. In the years since, that original social stance — informed by clear policy and solid infrastructure — has served the city well through tragedy, celebration and more than a few snowstorms. Crudele is now on a campaign to help others evolve their social practices from just posting to integrating social into the life of the city.

Lindsay has just penned an introduction to her new work, having just launched a DOTGOV practice for the public sphere.

Plus, on The Week in Tweet, we discuss Boston's Be Like Sebastian meme and the implications of Facebook's reaction buttons for government social media.
