012 Boaty McBoatface and the Trolling of Government on Social Media, plus the countdown to #GSMCON2016
Podcast regulars Dustin Haisler, Paul Taylor, Anil Chawla and Eyragon Eidam announce the winner of the #GovTechSocial contest for a scholarship to the second annual Government Social Media Conference in Reno, NV and preview GSMCON2016. They also discuss the social media lessons to be learned from another contest - the British governments naming of a $287 million polar research ship. The Internet's choice - Boaty McBoatface - is the latest in a (proud?) tradition of trolling government online.
The hosts also explore the unique use case of BART. The Bay Area transit agency flipped rider complaints about late and broken trains to draw attention to a system-wide crisis.
Also on this episode, using Twitter to predict activism, protesting, and likelihood to vote for this or that presidential candidate.
