Matthew Burton’s Summary
I help organizations use the Web better. Specifically, I help them establish online communities, share information internally, and collaborate over the Web.
My main client is the US Intelligence Community, where I worked as an analyst from 2003-2005. As a consultant, I help them use technology to increase cross-agency collaboration and information sharing, and improve analytical integrity. Sometimes I develop concepts for them; other times I write; sometimes I speak.
I also created and run a new online community, ReadableLaws.org.
I want to be paid to come up with ideas and enact them. Freedom to wear jeans would be nice, too.
