The Blogging Revolution: Government in the Age of Web 2.0

http://www.businessofgovernment.org/main/publications/grant_reports/details/index.asp?gid=291

The IBM Center for the Business of Government Publication by David C. Wyld, Southeastern Louisiana University. 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.

"This is kind of funny and sad at the same time. I generally check out my trackback links to make sure they're real sites, if they're not I delete them. One thing I've noticed happening in the past month or so is that there are Person2_1 made for Adsense sites tracking back that seem to be completely generated text."
