So I finally had an opportunity to meet with Jerry Brown and I really liked him. He was very personable and interested in getting better connected with the electorate. One immediate offshoot -- Jerry is now blogging which I think is great. He has also asked for a set of recommendation to improve his web site.
As we talked about the Internet and the web I gave Jerry the standard pitch about Cluetrain and pushed an idea that Doc Searls and I had discussed -- the networked electorate. Jerry got it and wants to explore how he could get both elected and appointed officials in Oakland blogging. Now that would be cool.

Way to go getting Jerry Brown to join the blogesphere. What are your thoughts around a "connected electorate"? Through my SF based company Comcate I work with cities in implementing customer service/e-gov programs. Would love to hear what you're thinking in this area...
