Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

The crowds and cameras are gone. The tuxedos and dresses tucked away. If history is any indication, many Americans will begin to focus more on their own lives, and less on others; but our new leader's message of hope hinges on our participation, not just our agreement.

So how will President Obama keep America engaged and focused on the "common good," and not drift back to our own special interests?

What strategies do you think he could employ in order to keep Americans not just believing in "change," but actively participating in making change?

And is there anything you are planning to do to make sure you participate in the process today, tomorrow and over the long term?

What can Smaller Indiana do to be part of the continuing solution?

Please share your thoughts here, or better yet, suggest some actions?

I love the #Indiana idea! I have used it several times and have noticed that it has really been used alot the last few days in Twitter! What makes this even better is that #Indiana now has the first Miss America in it's history! There is not any better time to get Indiana out in the Social Media World! If you don't have anything else to talk about, we can talk about this great accomplishment! Who knows who will pick up all the feeds about Indiana! We deserve this recognition! Thanks Amy and Nicki for getting this started!

Just wanted to point out, if noone has yet, that Obama's administration is using Salesforce.com as their CRM (constituent relationship management) application of choice and that's how they are gathering feedback and suggestions from the public on better government....

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
