FutureGov Networks is in beta, which means we're still working on it. We want it to be useful so tell us what you think and what else you'd like to see and we'll make it happen.
We are a consultancy with a passion for making the most of information and the web to improve the public sector. We want to help government get closer to its customers so that services better meet their needs.

Full text of her talk can also be found over on her blog.

Wow - a genuinely thought-provoking piece of work there.
The conclusions aren't at all surprising when you think about it - but something we should all bear in mind when thinking abut using existing networks for community engagement.
Very interesting! So much has been said about ensuring that organisations promote equal access, but so little about the pervasive inequality once access has been gained/granted.
