From what I recall the representatives of the private sector and
from a university supported the government official.
The following was interesting:

I'd say that social media as used on the island is like buying a book
to learn about it or applying what has been read on the internet. On
the user side, it is more of an individualistic approach instead of a
social approach. This is reflected in the level of customer service
which the consumer will accept.
There is a mindset of "no questions asked". That may be okay if you
are not working for an internet-based company. I suggest taking a
look at www.airbnb.com as it highlights the social part.
