Sep 28th, 2007 by dabloguiman
The president of Ecuador Rafael Correa became the first Latin American president to open an official blog to communicate directly with the citizens of that country.
The blog is named “The Citizen President Rafael Correa” and it features a video by Correa where he defines Web 2.0 as a key element in his political strategy.
Correa also invites the citizens to participate actively in social networks so that everyone can contribute in building the new Constitution online.
It looks like a very interesting and challenging experiment in participatory democracy. It will be interesting to follow it and see where it leads.
