The White House Twitter feed recently created a survey and asked followers to submit their opinions on how they liked @WhiteHouse and how the @WhiteHouse team could improve their feed.  Here is a quick list of three suggestions that would improve @WhiteHouse - or any other communications-intensive organization. 1. Use hashtags

Managing the Shift from 'Push' to 'Pull' Information Economy

One of the two implications of the paradigm shift I wrote about was the movement from an information economy in which providers pushed out their content to one in which consumers pulled it into their feed.  This movement started with the advent of RSS feeds and has hit a high point in link shortening and sharing on Twitter and facebook.

In 2005, William Eggers released a book titled "Government 2.0."  Its cover shows two parallel cables  sending information between them wirelessly.  Yes, parallel cables, and only 5 short years ago.

Rethinking the Role of Citizens in a Gov 2.0 World

Friday, June 4th, 2010 - 13:25

Recent social, political, and technological changes are redefining the role of citizens from one of just being voters, or just being polled for their opinions, to a far more interactive role. Much of this redefinition is happening online, but not in all cases.

Social Media Trends in Gov for 2010

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 - 16:51
I am not a tech-toy pioneer.  It was two years before I logged onto my company’s instant message system because I thought it would create ADD symptoms (it didn’t).  I just got a Blackberry a few weeks ago (yes, Blackberry, not iPhone) because I lost my PalmPilot calendar and they don’t make them anymore.  And I resisted a Twitter account because I thought it was silly, frivolous, and seemingly narcissistic.

Great post!

Social media is not only a way of getting great information, but also a good marketing vehicle. For example, we (Webworld Technologies) have found that Twitter enables us to get into interesting exchanges of information with both prospects and other IT professionals. LinkedIn has enabled me to establish relationships with prospects that would have been more difficult through email or cold calls.

Realizing the growing importance of social media, we recently redesigned our website where we now actively promote our Blog and Twitter and LinkedIn accounts on our homepage.

I couldn't agree more with the six trends that were first outlined on the Harvard Business blog by David Armano (http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/cs/2009/11/six_social_media_trends.html) before they were reposted all over the web and declared trends in a variety of contexts - Marketing, Business, Government, etc. I actually thought about doing the same thing for local government on my website before doing the research that lead me to your great blog.
While I think those six trends are definitely applicable to government, I'd say there's more in the store for 2010: The Open Government Directive is driving all federal agencies to try new and exciting things using different Web2.0 tools. Online communities of practice like GovLoop will provide new ways to exchange information between different government entities. And the Government2.0 movement along with a wave of new experiments like the AppsForAmerica contest that combine newly available data with social elements will lead the way to more transparency and civic engagement. It's going to be an exciting year...

Your RSS feed doesn't work in my browser (google chrome) how can I fix it?

Sorry, you'll have to direct that question to Wordpress. I can do a blog, but am helpless with tech support!

Toward Greater Transparency and Accountability in Government

The future’s going to be different. Just look at today’s generation. It participates in massively distributed, role-playing games on the Internet, like World of Warcraft. As a result, young people develop their leadership skills differently. They share information and make decisions differently. They engage in teamwork and collaborate differently. It’s all about your contributions, not your rank or position. They are called “digital natives.” This isn’t how government works today.
