LacCarling.ca, a social networking platform for government and industry relations was launched.
The social network helps governments and industry to carry on the dialogue to advance the service delivery agenda, and it is designed with both public and private faces: it allows government and industry pundits to post to pre-populated forums to provide a broad spectrum of opinions, and facilitates group discussions on an invitation-only basis.
Fawn Annan, Vice-President and Publisher for IT World Canada states, "We have waited a long time, working with two separate development teams to bring this type of social networking functionality to the publishing and government forefront. The opportunity for this community, and the input from such a high level of senior bureaucrats and industry pundits to envision and embrace such a tool on a national level, makes this a bracing and energizing time for everyone."
It’s a trend social networking technologies have created in the world of relations between government and other stakeholders.
