Instead the 'back end' of government needs to act like a platform, not just the 'user interface' i.e. govt needs to start running projects and activities as a platform - inviting in social innovators, geeks/experts, citizens etc to work on offline things as well as online things to make sure that a culture of 'government as a platform' is woven through the fabric of what it does.</p> video <object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=govplatform-090605065618-phpapp02"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=govplatform-090605065618-phpapp02" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=apiembed"><img src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border:0px none;margin-bottom:-5px" alt="SlideShare"/></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/timoreilly/government-as-platform?src=apiembed" title="View Government As Platform on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload?src=apiembed">Upload your own</a></div> 11 slideshare.net 2009-07-06T23:37:24Z http://www.slideshare.net/timoreilly/government-as-platform 2
