Midtown Brews: "Making Fast Food Faster: Technology Innovating the Service Industry"

Midtown Brews with Meet The Bloggers

Following up...

In our last Midtown Brews mailer, we pointed out a new effort in Cuyahoga County to promote transparency called, Map the Mess [2]. This collaborative web site features the power of Social Network Analysis, and with help of the citizens of Cuyahoga County, Map the Mess can inaugurate a new day of transparency, civility, and shared responsibility in government. 

Valdis Krebs - Orgnet [3] Founder and creator of InFlow [4], the social network software used to Map the Mess - published the Sunday blog post, Weaving Journalists, [5] referencing the New York Times article, "Crowd Funding: A different way to pay for the news you want." The article [6]describes how investigative journalism is frequently powered by many, small citizen payments funding journalists to opt-in to stories they are interested in writing about. 

Not dissimilar from Map the Mess, [2] which continues to gain public participation and momenteum. You can view one of the early maps of the mess using the "indirect quid pro quo" concept entitled, "The Russo 5 Step." [7]
