Great show, everyone. As one of the guests pointed out, it is tough for legal and policy frameworks to keep up with anything that moves this fast, and organizations and public agencies of all kinds are trying to deal with it.

The Federal government is doing useful work in this area that should provide useful models for states, counties, cities, etc. For example, HHS has a General Guidance for Utilization of New and/or Social Media:

Also at the federal level, the General Services Administration is negotiating Amended Terms of Service Agreements with various social media service providers. This is important because the default terms are often at odds with established public purchasing/contracting, legal, IT, and risk management requirements:

Hope these are helpful links, and thanks again for a great show.
