The web is abuzz this week with news of the technology revolution President Obama is ushering in to the White House (including a new website for the White House and even a White House blog). Check out How Obama will use web technology in the Washington Post. In particular, I liked the Citizen’s Briefing Book website – “Over 125,000 users submitted over 44,000 ideas and cast over 1.4 million votes. The best rated ideas will be gathered into a Citizen’s Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama after he is sworn in.” It reminded me of the Ask Anything campaign that took place at Mars Hill church in late 2007 – parishioners could suggest and then vote for the topics of sermons they wanted Mark Driscoll to preach on.
