Estonia opens politics to the web

BBC NEWS | Technology: "In many countries, 'e-government' is more political rhetoric than hard reality. But not in the tiny Baltic nation of Estonia, where democracy is running about as close to real-time as you can get. The tiny nation of Estonia is championing the internet as a way of making ministers more accountable. Citizens can now log into a government internet portal called Today, I Decide. On the site, Estonians can comment on government policies, both domestic and foreign. "
