What is it?
"Web 2.0" or two-way dialogue is more about the culture of an organization than its' tools. In a Web 1.0 organization, decision making is hierarchical. A few senior staffers go off on THE ANNUAL RETREAT and return with marching orders. Conversely, in a Web 2.0 environment an organization OPENS the door for staff, volunteers, donors, clients and other key stakeholders to be a part of the decision-making process.

Incremental gains in volunteering – 1/3 of the nation and falling since September 11. Increased
social isolation – A quarter of Americans feel isolated, more than double since 1985. Decline in
civic participation – Civic health at all time low.

What needs to happen?People need to have more chances to connect with one another and figure out how they can work together for the common good.
