I wrote a post about how the Obama Administration is using “web 2.0″ software from innovative companies including Google, Facebook, Salesforce, twitter and blist in creative ways. TechCrunch liked the post and offered to run it on their site with a byline of me as guest author. From there, the Washington Post picked it up and redistributed it again. If you haven’t read it already, I’d love it if you’d check it out either on TechCrunch or WashingtonPost.com. What do you think?
I’m skeptical, but optimistic, about pervasive adoption of technologies that would result in transparency throughout our federal government. Transparency leads to accountability and that simply frightens many on our government payrolls. Exciting times and potential nonetheless. Great post Kevin. And great to see blist on the rise. -dp
