This is so damn awesome. Do you think Twitter is the best platform for this type of on-demand government?
I personally think it's a decent idea. You have the mention notification system. It has the favorite/retweet feature, so if a citizen thinks it's a big issue they can show it by interacting with the tweet
and it's public -- even non twitter user can see what's happening
Much of government is public - it's just that most people don't care to go to the meetings/look up the records/interact with whatever local website holds the information or whatever.
