I found it really timely in light of this article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/01/AR2009030101745.html?sub=AR) in the Washington Post yesterday, talking about the frustrations that Obama's team is having trying to fulfill their Web 2.0 desires. Those of us who struggle (I work new media for the Air Force) to press for access to social media tools and sites can relate to the problems that the President's team is just now discovering. All govt agencies have had to jump through hoops before, and it will continue for a while. But at least the Gov 2.0 community is getting more vibrant, and gaining traction that will help people in other agencies cite precedent to their bosses who are leery of using Web 2.0. Mike:

I find it fascinating to see how the government is beginning to use social media. It is clear that this trend will and should continue. @Steven Streight There is room for improvement, of course. I hope that this post is able to highlight that fact. Yet, agencies are thinking of creative ways to become more open and transparent, and that is progress. I appreciate all of your feedback.

So far, I see no transparency or accountability in this administration. Just tossing the word around. Since so many Twitter users describe criminal acts against political leaders they despise, mostly Democrats, I've decided to create Snitcher, the law enforcement version of Twitter. Snitcher asks "What crime are you, or someone you know, committing?" I hope the social media frenzy of imprudent exhibitionism and compulsion to confess will make it easier to catch these criminals before they do more illegal activity.

If you browse through the recently-released report [http://www.loc.gov/blog/?p=394], the statistics will blow you away. Not only are users tagging LOC content, but they're adding the content to their own photo streams. Moreover, everyday citizens are visiting the LOC's web servers and downloading more images. The report mentions some analytics comparing today vs a year ago, and it's mind-numbing.
