Lack of link between Blog Barcelona and web i.de.a. Diagonal

We have already made reference to the lack of possibilities of interrelationship between the people interested in exchange views on the reform of Diagonal Avenue to be reflected in the official web site of the participatory process, i.de.a. Diagonal.

But what has been the surprise (or not) to check that the Blog Barcelona, official blog journal of the city of Barcelona, contained various inputs on the reform of Diagonal Avenue. It would not be good, taking advantage of the possibilities of ICT, at least linking on the web i.de.a. Diagonal the opinions in the Blog Barcelona concerning the reform of Diagonal Avenue?

If you allow me, I will do so in this space. You will see that in the right column of this blog, as “Blog Barcelona”, appear two links, one that leads to the home of the blog, but that does not show directly the entries referred to the reform of Diagonal Avenue, and another that leads to a new blog that I created under the title “The reform of the Diagonal Avenue in the Blog Barcelona ” and that links in each entry with one of the contributions on the reform of the Diagonal have done the Blog Barcelona. These entries I located through the search of the Blog Barcelona. I will go upgrading for which do not have to do so much work, because in the cloud of labels of the Blog Barcelona nor do we have the “reform of Diagonal” to choose.

New resource: unblogenred.es

I found the blog of red.es, an agency of Ministry Industry, Tourism and Trade responsible for the information society. A part of the topic at hand, in unblogenred.es you can find information and views on various topics related to information society. The entrance to the Diagonal on the participatory process is not generating much debate at the moment.

New resource: Fòrum del Transport Català

In a previous post referred to the lack of interaction with and among citizens that they are currently lacking in the official website of the participatory process i.de.a. Diagonal. The truth is that GoogleAlert, which helps me locate information on the Web on the subject at hand is not very prolific show satisfactory results. But apart from some timely contributions to virtual comunities deserves special attention because of the systematic contributions to the theme of his staff, the Forum del Transport Català that I linked in a new section “Discussions on the Net.” Represents what is missing in the official website: a real discussion between those who want to collaborate on what should be, should not, may or may not be Diagonal Avenue. This is the true potential of electronic participation: creating a place of ideas, but public, open to all, not restricted to the official organizer of the participatory process, as in the newsletter not visible to other participants in the process that will analyze .
