Interspersed between the directly practical and usable are a handful of &#8220;Big Picture&#8221; essays which are intended to help organizers put the practical and usable into a broader context.  I had the honor of writing one of these based on my talk last year at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.personaldemocracy.com\/\">Personal Democracy Forum.<\/a>  My essay is called <i>&#8220;Digital Handshakes in Networked Publics: Why Politicians Must Interact, Not Broadcast.&#8221;<\/i>  In short, I outline why it is important the politicians treat the online world as another form of public space where direct outreach and interaction is critical.  If you see networked publics as a modern-day street, it only makes sense to login to the street and start shaking hands.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re only looking to read what I&#8217;ve written, you can check my essay out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danah.org\/papers\/essays\/DigitalHandshakes.pdf\">here<\/a>.
