One of the difficulties of participation is knowing how to. Having more opportunities for participation alone does not make it any easier. Today you can speak at a meeting, write a letter, phone, TXT, email, instant message, twitter, blog, vlog, etc. Still, if the message is not crafted then it will likely be ignored. This video of Monica Guzman's Ignite presentation on Being an Awesome News Commenter is a good start at understanding how to craft your message.
The Ignite format is a great at focusing the speaker and the audience. The speaker has to tell the story in 5 minutes with 20 slides that auto-forward every 15 seconds. The audience contributes 5 minutes too. It would be very interesting to use this format in a public forum. I wonder if anyone has?
