I'm currently doing most of my blogging about social media, e-democracy and open collaboration over at Socialreporter.com. Here's some recent items

Social media, creativity, and open collaboration
I presented at the Creative Juice seminar, explaining why I think games, events like social innovation camp and co-design processes like that developed by Ruralnet, are important for innovative design.

Not sure I'll keep both blogs going ... see which way the stories fall. Anyway, I need to move socialreporter off Wordpress.com because of the limited embedding. The ruralnet Wordpess MU platform looks promising.

I have to admit - I searched on civil site design and your blog came up. I was looking more for the the civil site design that involves moving dirt and hydrology.
