if today's new tools really are more favourable for discussion, then
why aren't we using them? some of my projects have included trying
to get discussion & debate happening via blogs & forums
& social media tools, & it just doesn't happen. it could be
that for some reason i'm not very good at this, but i see other
people struggle to do it as well. meanwhile email is direct, quick
& easy, so it doesn't surprise me at all that mailing lists
continue to be the places where discussions happen :)<br>

<pre wrap="">And in Argentina the Net Party co-founded in May 2012 by Pia Mancini, and run from her laptop on the go, have created DemocracyOS, an open-source platform for voting and political debate. It works on smart phone, tablet and laptop - anyone can download, install and repurpose much like WordPress blogging software. Its now being used in Tunisia as well.
