Waltzing Matilda is mainly written by the Social Media section within the Europa.eu web team together with occasional guest bloggers. The purpose is to help the European Commission move into the era of the web 2.0 with the help of enthusiastic colleagues and friends. The blog looks with wonder and surprise and a critical eye at evolutions and revolutions in the world of social media as we dig our way through the wealth of material already available and observe what colleagues are doing. The ultimate goal is to learn how the Commission can use social networking services to connect with citizens and interest groups in a coherent way.

Here are some of our favourite picks:
