digital cultureImagine you're a visitor to VT and as you enter the state, you see a statue with 5 words inscribed.  What are the 5 words?

my choices:
connected
democratic
participatory
unity
freedom

The group picked:
Innovation
inclusive
connected
community
integrity

(mine were better ;0)

how can VT use communication tools to improve quality of life? (my ideas...)
*The state should connect every address in the state with the fattest pipe possible, publicly-owned.
*the state should become a leader in using new media tools and lead by example -- video blogs, forums, wikis, utter transparency of govt.
gavel to gavel online coverage of the statehouse proceedings

Please note: I'm live-blogging today (5/29/08) from the Snelling Center for Government's day-long symposium: Fulfilling Vermont's E-state Potential: Building Community in a Connected Age.  Please excuse any typos or poorly-worded posts -- I'll fix them later.
