I also think that there is a great potential to combine social media and open data. I started such a project for local politics in Frankfurt, Germany: www.frankfurt-gestalten.de. We offer local political decisions with an improved email service and geo-referenced the data. But we also let citizens comment on decisions and offer to add own ideas and initiatives. Problem is that social media and open government contradict typical public institutions work. Open data is one step, but let people experiment with it (e.g. mobile applications), seems a nightmare for many. At least some local governments have started to build on their listening skills for example through Twitter. Excellent post.
