I think that's spot on; we don't have a place to go online to properly engage in a civic and social way with the government and other citizens.
It's not clear that such a creation (a national community as I outlined in my Government 2.0 visual) would be workable if created by the federal government. But I think it needs to be tried.
It's the same criticism that I make towards companies that refuse to provide communities to their customers (which go off and form their own) -- http://blogs.zdnet.com/Hinchcliffe/?p=190 -- applies here.
But in the end, we may very well have to go off and form our own national citizen community.
Best,
Dion Hinchcliffe
