I don't know what the widget-y questions, the answers to which would help third sector organisations, are, (as collating and processing widget-y questions is probably one of the big challenges) - but if consultations were more easily available by blackberry etc - and commuters could opt-in to responding to those that could be interesting. (Although, I'm not all that interested in the political empowerment of the commuter - who likely has access to enough resources to be politically heard right now. Bite size consultation to young people on mobile platforms could be more interesting...) What sort of content might this widgetised volunteering carry?
