Better than participation: Connectedness
Many-to-Many: Not just activist, not just participatory, but connected
About e-Democracy: "It’s not simply that connecting lowers the hurdle when compared with either activism or participating. More important, the rewards of connected democracy are different. Yeah, we (pretty please) throw King W out, but we also get a relationship to the others walking in the same direction. We’re friends, we’re buddies, we know one another by (login) name. That by itself is a powerful motivator."
That's the sort of e-democracy I would like to see in corporations. Not the manipulative and corny participatory meetings where employees are expected to voice their concerns to the management, and where the manager exercizes his "communication skills".
