In this article we develop considerations on the intense use of digital technologies and its consequences on several aspects of sociability, especially in the relationship between territoriality and exercise of the public administration (digital government). The new spaces for sociability, implemented in the daily life, particularly with the diffusion of the Internet, launched us to different dimensions of political practice, a field of study that is becoming increasingly important. Growing experiences of digital cities incorporate, in differentiated measure, the interactivity of the new media, as means for the citizens' participation and for the reduction of bureaucracy in politics, often constituting one-way forms of information broadcasting, developed for commercial advertising and/or electoral purposes.
