Social Media & Government

As you know from my introduction, I'm very interested in communication in the public sector. The GovFresh blog from this week's course readings provides a pretty deep resource for learning about how Social Media is being used by governments and other public agencies, but it may be overwhelming at first.

For those looking for a shorter, quicker primer on why governments are interested in social media, check out this post from dotgov. The site also has some other interesting articles, including one on how City Councils can use Facebook.
