CIO en VO : déjà 100 000 questions sur le portail Web 2.0 du président Obama


Edition du 30/03/2009 - par ComputerWorld USA


La Maison Blanche a ouvert un portail interactif pour que les citoyens américains puissent interroger le président américain. Le succès est au rendez-vous avec plus de 100 000 questions posées et presqu'autant d'utilisateurs enregistrés. Obama ne fait que continuer sur la lancée de sa compagne...

Two days after members of the White House press corps asked President Barack Obama questions about the state of the union, more than 90,000 citizens from across the country had the chance to do the same thing Thursday. In an online town hall meeting that started late Thursday morning and wrapped up just before 1 p.m. EDT, Obama took questions from an audience in the White House as well as from online participants who had posed questions on the whitehouse.gov Web site. White House officials said the Web site's Open for Questions portal, launched earlier this week, attracted some 92,928 users who submitted 104,111 questions and cast 3,606,658 votes for queries they wanted answered. "Given the size of the electorate, that's not a huge number, but since it's the first time they've done this, you have to judge it in that context," said Dan Olds, principle analyst with the Gabriel Consulting Group. "It's a step in the right direction to getting more people engaged in the process." Olds also said that using Web 2.0 tools is a way for a new generation of political leaders to reach out to an increasingly connected and technically savvy audience. "Right now, we have a crisis in confidence in this country," he added. "How you fix that, as a leader, is through communication. Sure, you could do that on TV and radio but look at all the people using Web 2.0. You have to use every medium you can and there's a big audience out there online." In his opening remarks in Thursday's town hall meeting, Obama called this new online effort an "experiment." The first question that he took was one of the most popular submitted by the online audience. "How do you plan to restore education as a right and core cultural value in America?" asked a participant from Boston. The president said we need to focus on investing in teachers, on improving science curricula and on reforming education policies. Other subjects posed by online questioners included small business, the economy, green energy and health care reform.
