QScend and Gov 2.0
Facebook and Twitter are seemingly everywhere. Mayors, council people, town administrators, and public information officers are joining the rush to be involved in these interactive Web tools where millions of people share information, discuss news, and even create news.
Governments need to be where the people are, sharing accomplishments, news, quotes, proclamations, and opinions, and engaging your citizens in conversation. That's the way of the Web today.
Gov 2.0/Web 2.0
Those are terms that describe the fastest growing tools on the Internet today, and the incorporation of those tools into websites, personal, corporate, and civic. Gov 2.0 has grown out of Web 2.0 and basically consists of including the proper tools on your website that allow for interactive and information sharing across the new Internet.
Be Where the People Are
Few people get their news the same way these days. Different demographics use different venues. By taking part on Web 2.0 sites such as Facebook and Twitter, you can deliver your news and information to people who might not ever visit your website or attend a meeting at city hall. Participating in these venues boosts your openness and transparency scores and serves to build trust and confidence in your government.
