Government 2.0
Most people think of government agencies as being behind the times as far as technology. They recall cumbersome Web sites and endless options on an automated phone system. In the past this might have been true, but now government agencies are seeing the great opportunities social media offers. Many agencies now have blogs, social networking pages, podcasts, and YouTube videos. Agencies are able to use social media to reach out to citizens without having to rely on main stream media for distribution.
So, what are you up to?
If you wanted to know the answer to this question, the simple solution is to pick up the phone and call your friend/spouse/sibling, right? Not any more. Social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and, especially, Twitter are providing us with the answer without ever having to ask the question.

But I know how to use practically zilch social media. (I can read stuff, but…. ) So would love to have a simple interface bringing them together. So I can join the party.
Hooray for recession!
