[réponse à un article éponyme - ou presque - de Slate] Principal reproche? Malgré des kilomètres de littérature dans les journaux et ailleurs, Twitter est un objet pour happy few et son succès un trompe-l'oeil - contrairement à Facebook, dont Titiou Lecoq, c'est son nom, est en revanche grande consommatrice et qui permet, selon elle, l'élaboration d'un vrai réseau, personnel, professionnel et surtout accessible à tous. Les élites contre les gens, vieux refrain. Vieux et pas faux, en l'occurrence. (...)

Local governments, like many businesses, are struggling with a data glut. Agencies collect huge amounts of information about topics as diverse as building permits, potholes, Medicaid cases and foster-child placements. Technology, according to computer experts and government officials, can be a powerful tool to mine vast troves of government data for insights to streamline services and guide policy.
“The mistake people make is to think that collecting the data is the endgame,” said Michael R. Bloomberg, the mayor of New York. The real payoff, he said, takes another step. “We actually use the data,” he noted. | source : www.nytimes.com
