  • Infographic: Tumblr facts.  Perhaps of greatest relevance to government agencies: Tumblr is "more popular among 13-25-year olds than Facebook." (or so they claim)
  • Looking ahead: A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece for GovLoop about the future of online citizen support.  This week, Brittany Ballenstedt had a post on Mashable that looks ahead to 2020 to forecast what government services will look like.
  • Missed last Friday's Tech@State?  The Storify has yet to come out, but reading the Twitter Feed of the event is an education itself on Education Technology.
