Earl Devaney, chair of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, and Ed DeSeve, special advisor President Obama for stimulus implementation, are circulating a letter they hope will generate widespread interest in the project from the public as well as state and local partners, potential stimulus recipients and solution providers. Participation from the blogging community is critical to the success of this initiative, they wrote. Their team created a one-page summary of the IT dialogue that bloggers can copy and post. They also encouraged potential participants to follow the conversation via microblogging tool Twitter {@natldialogue / http://twitter.com/natldialogue}or on the "Recovery Dialogue: IT Solutions" Facebook group. As of Thursday afternoon, the Twitter page has 273 followers and the Facebook group has 100 members.
