Governments are making considerable efforts in order to enhance citizens' participation in their decision-making and policy processes. In order to understand the citizens' needs, the decision makers need to know more about citizens' behaviors, preferences and ability to use e-government online services. Recently, social media represents a strategic opportunity that can help governments to become more transparent by providing citizens with better services and enhancing information's access in a way that makes them more involved. In this paper, we propose a new conceptual framework that investigates users and communities' profiles based on social media. The aim of this paper is to explore the social citizens' profiles in order to improve and adapt public services, decision making, information sharing, transparency and collaboration enhancing...to the individual's current and relevant needs.
