City of Palo Alto Hosts 2nd Twitter Q&A
On March 29th, 2012, the City of Palo Alto hosted its second Twitter Q&A with Mayor Yeh and City Manager James Keene. The event was facilitated by the City CIO Reichental and built upon the success of the first event about a month earlier.
City of Palo Alto Hosts First Twitter Q&AThe City of Palo Alto is expanding its use of technology to engage with and reach more broadly into the community. On February 27th, 2012...- For the first event, the City hosted the Q&A during the day and limited the time to 30 minutes. The team determined that it was too short and perhaps holding the meeting later would enable more of our community to participate. So for this second event, it was held in the evening at 7pm and for a full hour. Overall, this second Q&A went more smoothly with more questions and greater confidence from the team hosting the session. The following is the full transcript of the Twitter Q&A.
