Today I'm at Government 2.0 Camp It's an "unconference", with a big board of talks, decided this morning, to select from. I'm becoming an old pro at these things.

I spent some time at a talk about the intelligence community and their new A-Space project. To be honest, the whole thing was over my head. It's another universe in there. And there was still red tape associated with contributing to A-Space and developing applications that run on its platform. But, it was clear to me, and a number of people in the room piped up to say the same thing, that there genuinely is a sea change happening inside government culture as far as participatory software goes.

Completely different note: I'm definitely getting very sick of people talking about Twitter. It's just something to be enjoyed, not discussed and dissected to an endless degree. It's like if I knew how to do magic tricks, and was awesome at it, and I knew it, so all I did was talk about magic tricks. You overexpose people to it and get them sick of it and suddenly it's not so magic. I'm not sure if that metaphor makes any sense. Neither does everyone talking about Twitter. That's the true metaphor. Metaphor complete.
