Time and again we hear of city government’s shying away from social networks because they’re afraid of opening themselves up to criticism. Feedback can mean everything in some online circles, but don’t let fear of negative feedback deter you from forming online communities or engaging in social media.

Nobody’s perfect, and an entity that appeared perfect would feel insincere and worthy of suspicion.
