Is it rational for the Department of State to tweet for solutions?

I just saw where the Department of State is tweeting with the question: "We want your input/ Share solutions you think are critical to countering violent extremism."

Is this rational?
Should it be done?

No problem with getting input. Doesn't necessarily mean that the input will be enacted.
I think it would be nice to have some more small time ideas brought to the light more often. Examples: Costs like ten cents to make one nickel, removing political parties from our system all together, forcing major league sports out of their tax free zone, finding a good way to take money out of elections, etc.

Yes -- it's an excellent source of "out of the box" solutions. I listen to "experts" bloviate all day on-line about how "they'd fix things." I mean TV talking heads as well. All the "smart" guys. OK, now those experts can opine and if there is some nugget among all the usual troll comments, the algorithms will pick it up and some smart person will run with it and things will get better. Think about it. State is moving past "who shot Johnny" and simply want viable, intelligent solutions and is crowd sourcing it. Google hires by having people solve a puzzle shown on a billboard. This is a 21st Century effort to improve the system and I applaud it.
