RE: [CTPP] Yes, CTPP enters the age of social networking!

I have the same issue you do, therefore I send all of these "social network" messages to my personal address, although I believe that my colleagues miss out on some opportunities to learn. Our state DOT sometimes publishes projects' simulations on YouTube and I have to look at them at home. I can understand that some agencies may fear abuse by employees, but I don't believe they have actually pondered the disadvantages of blocking such sites.

I'd be curious to know how many agencies cannot take advantage of this due to social network blockage by I.T. policies. I, for one, cannot access any Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, or any other social networking pages. That being said, we cannot create and/or take advantage of those same technologies, particularly as an avenue for Public Participation. Michael D.
