Empowerment and Governance in the Information Society (I): the hourglass of information power This is a two-part article on the power relationships and distribution in the Information Society. It first presents, in Empowerment and Governance in the Information Society (I): the hourglass of information power, some concepts as power, empowerment and governance, and how they have been distributed amongst citizens and institutions along ages.

Toggl - Time tracking that works Agora Voting blog | Elaboración abierta de propuestas (imagen de cartoonmovement.com) Traducción del artículo Open Proposal Elaboration escrito por David Ruescas para este mismo blog.

Los buenos sistemas de toma de decisiones tienen mayor probabilidad de generar decisiones que reflejen las preferencias de la comunidad y aprovechar el conocimiento colectivo. Por lo tanto, un sistema de toma de decisiones se alimenta de preferencias y conocimiento y genera una decisión. Un sistema de toma de decisiones de este tipo es en la práctica un agregador de información; las decisiones de mayor calidad son el resultado de agregar tanta información como sea posible: no se ignora ninguna preferencia y no se margina ningún conocimiento valioso. Esta breve descripción nos lleva a distinguir entre votar y el concepto más amplio de la toma de decisiones. El auge de las tecnologías de la información es muy relevante en este problema.
