OpenForQuestions at the White House, next big thing

Hey, the folks at the White House have moved another big step forward with OpenForQuestions.

The deal is simple: you ask questions, Obama answers 'em. I'm sure he can't do all, but will do what's humanly reasonable. (It's like me doing customer service extras via Twitter.)

It's one big new step towards networked grassroots democracy

"As a graduating college senior, it is a scary time to be leaving the education niche. What is going to be done in the job market for students like me who will now be competing with baby boomers who can no longer retire?"

Just a thought, would the US Government benefit from the Craig's List community model? Could Craig's Lists aspirations for community/customer service and culture be implemented in the existing government structure, or do you think bureaucracy would resist the change?
