.@dcwater - your trouble reporting system is handing out 5 digit problem ids, e.g. 12181, but tracking system only accepts 4 digit ids.

Astute observation. Where else might we apply this?
Replying to @patio11
That is one of the social purposes of the technology that is fire alarms. A fire alarm does not merely tell you that there is possibly a fire. In many cases, you will already know that. A fire alarm gives everyone simultaneous social permission to acknowledge the fire and act.

Facebook Live Producer gurus, help! Setup: FB live event scheduled w/persistent streamkey, Vmix streaming. On FB live video setup screen, video appeared, realtime (1) but FB didn't "create" live video (2) or provide a way to publish stream. Same setup last week worked fine.

.@angi_home @HomeAdvisor You've got a vendor and homeowner-hostile "request for quote" system: I can submit a quotation request via angi.com (good), I get email notification when a vendor replies (good), but when I click to see the reply, 1/x

the homeadvisor.com message center page is mostly blank. Homeadvisor.com chat says it's an Angi problem, & angi.com chat says I can only see the vendor response on an app. Two years (more actually) of good experience w/Angie's List flushed. 2/2
ISO: Videoconference w/semi-permeable breakouts: Seek Zoom clone that allows people in breakout rooms to see/hear (w/volume control) what's up in the main room. So ppl can "step out" from the main session, talk privately, but still see what's going on and step in when appropriate
Thanks. Now should we should go improv & invent some tips to go with the concept of "guild lines".
When they ask, "should we decide to do #publicengagement for this project?", how do you respond? citizentools.netalyst.com/20…
Most #Zoom guides for hosts describe all the "buttons". This one is different: it shows you how be confident that you've pushed the *right* buttons to create a great experience for everyone. "Walk a mile in your participants' shoes", and six more tips. citizentools.netalyst.com/zo…

A public health challenge in Monrovia clarifies the importance of #trust in #publicengagement. citizentools.netalyst.com/20…

The decision-maker just asked, "what's the #ROI of #publicengagement?", and your heart sinks. Take a breath, don't answer the question, and do this instead. citizentools.netalyst.com/20…

On hold for fifteen minutes (so far) to cancel @myfax, the e-facsimile company that channels old, sleazy gym tactics.
Consultation as #publicengagement no longer guarantees public trust. Why not? Values trade-offs are unavoidable. What to do? Insights from @donlenihan and @thornleyfallis citizentools.netalyst.com/20…
ALL WET – Govt agencies, to avoid tough conversations, may constrain public engagement. It's like squeezing a water balloon: the public's concerns pop up unexpectedly somewhere else, most likely ill-suited for thoughtful policy discussions. @thornleyfallis buff.ly/2SAPe3V
