June 18, 2009 · What obstacles do you think hinder West Virginia? That’s a question Jason Keeling would like you to discuss in celebration of West Virginia Day.

But Keeling wants to get the discussion going on the social media.  On blogs, Facebook, My Space and Twitter. 

 

He’s done this before.  Keeling operates abetterwestvirginia.com.  He advocates getting users on social networking sites involved in thinking about problems facing the state.

 

Keeling is asking you to identify an obstacle that hinders West Virginia and discuss its solution.  He suggests eight topic areas.  Business/Economy, Culture, Education, Environment, Government, Health/Wellness, Technology and Infrastructure.
