6 government sites crowdsourcing citizen ideas
Local governments and federal agencies are leveraging crowdsourcing feedback tools such as UserVoice to gauge citizen feedback. Here are 6 examples.
What other agencies are doing the same?

Nice, thanks! I was only aware of Santa Cruz and Austin before.
We recently launched ParticipateDB (http://ParticipateDB.com), a collaborative catalogue for online tools for participation. It looks like “Ideas for Seattle”, “Ideas for Austin” and “openNasa” can all be broadly considered online consultations and I’ve added them to our list of exemplary projects.

Another example from Austin I found: http://ideas.openaustin.org/
I’m curious how mobile could be integrated simply such as via the Pittsburg city application or perhaps even TxtEagle which is being used in the developing world.
I’m curious what the platforms that can be used….I know if you search “open source digg clone” Pligg, Corank, and Wordpress vote it up show up along with about 10 others.
Certainly using User Voice, Suggestion Box, or a moderated free wiki could also help.
