This article discusses how Social Media tools, like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube, as well as Online Discussion Forums, RSS Feeds, etc. can be used to help build "A Connected Community" and improve communication and engagement among Citizens, Stakeholders, Staff & Volunteers. This article was written for the Michigan Township's Association (www.michigantownships.org) and their Township Government audience, but the principles and tools discussed can be applied to any Local, Regional (County), State and even some Federal Government bodies. The author is available for additional media, speaking and training engagements on this and other Government Technology & Best Practices topics.
