A Fresh Start
I’ve had this blog domain sitting in my WordPress Dashboard for a couple of years now. I never knew what to do with it… until now.
There are a host of people now talking, tweeting, and blogging about “government 2.0” — a concept that is part social media, part platform, part data, and totally transformative for government. I’ve recently been officially tasked with (instead of just doing it because I love it) keeping my ear to the ground, watching for new startups, new technology, new ideas…and I need a way to share them.
So, here it is. This blog is for my colleagues in twenty-three states across the country. And it’s for anyone who wants a filtered look at what web 2.0, social media, and the open data movement can do for our governments. I say “filtered” because I plan to keep this fairly lean. I won’t be posting any- and everything that comes through the Twitter #gov20 hashtag. This will be the place I post the things that make it through my personal filters and into the “hmmm, that’s interesting” pile.
A new blog. A fresh start. Here we go.

Great idea! The landscape is changing so quickly these days. Glad to see someone is keeping an eye on it for us. : )
