On April 15th at this year's Twitter developer conference, Tim O'Reilly moderated a panel with Katie Stanton (White House Director of Citizen Participation), Anil Dash (Expert Labs), and Patrick Meier (Ushahidi) called "Twitter as a Force for Good". They discussed how Twitter was an incredible platform for information gathering for emergency response organizations during the Haiti earthquakes. Other topics of conversation ranged from how the US government keeps up with the latest web technologies, tech innovations originating outside of Silicon Valley and the U.S., and leveraging crowd-sourcing as a way to improve policy decisions.
