Title: "The Blogging Revolution: Government in the Age of Web 2.0”
Description: (View the video, photographs, and transcripts from our blogging event where David Wyld, John Wolf of Marriott, David Berger of IBM, and General James Cartwright of the U.S. Strategic Command discussed the lesson learned around blogging in their organizations.)
Dr. Wyld examines the phenomenon of blogging in the context of
the larger revolutionary forces at play in the development of the
second-generation Internet, where interactivity among users is key.
This is also referred to as "Web 2.0." Wyld observes that blogging
is growing as a tool for promoting not only online engagement
of citizens and public servants, but also offline engagement. He
describes blogging activities by members of Congress, governors,
city mayors, and police and fire departments in which they engage
directly with the public. He also describes how blogging is used
within agencies to improve internal communications and speed the
flow of information.
Based on the experiences of the blogoneers, Wyld develops a set of
lessons learned and a checklist of best practices for public managers
interested in following in their footsteps. He also examines the
broader social phenomenon of online social networks and how
they affect not only government but also corporate interactions
with citizens and customers.
