Citizen 2.0 is a rising term that could replace Gov 2.0 soon. Whether you are a Citizen or a Gov 2.0, evolving to adapt to the new social media-based world of networking, you have three redefined roles: greater transparence, greater participation, and greater collaboration. In the greater transparency aspect, governments can share raw data on crime, city (or state, or national) improvement, administration, finances, and more online. Citizens can access that information, as well as be in easier and more frequent contact with their governments to report crime, improvement needs, and so on—as well as connect more with one another about government questions, issues, and suggestions. The role of greater participation allows governments to create more conversation and discourse, and lets citizens have more of a say in public decision making. And finally, greater collaboration by the government means to ask the public more about issues; find out what the people want, and it gives citizens the opportunity to take issues and improvement needs into their own hands.
