Social media can allow for effective partnerships between private and public entities. Collaboration fosters participation, trust, and communicates transparency to constituents.
As of March 2012, according to Nielsen Media, over 50% of mobile phone owners now own smart phones. Studies are showing that we spend, now, more time with mobile media than we do through our PCs and our TVs. Mobile is the new way to communicate, and social media provides you the conduit for conversation. Studies are also showing penetration in lower income households, and households with more than six people. This is a key indicator that mobile has more than penetrated the average citizen, but has actually reached a critical mass of adoption across all user types. Additionally, studies show that households without access to broadband are commonly using mobile as their only means of accessing the web.
