Social media pioneer Anil Dash left blogging company Six Apart to found Expert Labs, a non-profit company that specializes in crowdsourcing to help the government make better policy decisions. Dash announced the new venture in New York at Web 2.0 Expo, which is co-sponsored by TechWeb, InformationWeek's parent company. Until now, most government use of social media has been to talk to the public rather than listen, Dash said.
