I just got to reading this. Thanks for the ping. I don't know about consensus, but tell Daniel we are trying to do the rest. I do believe in the concept of deliberative democracy, however. But that's probably obvious.The key question remains unanswered: can the quality of thinking and deliberation of the public be improved through the use of social media?

What is more intriguing is whether there are foundations and non-profit organizations that have specifically focused on creating a more deliberative social media community that can help build a broader consensus about difficult policy choices. And so far I haven't been able to find good examples of this kind of effort.
