In case you’re wondering why I invited you to be friends here on GovLoop, it’s probably because you registered for the Gov 2.0 webinar that I recently did for NavigationArts. We are going to be posting some of the questions that we didn’t have time to address so we can all continue the discussion here!
I am back again, this time re-incarnated as Sweet Gov Tweets. To catch up, I am posting two days worth of tweets, so this post is a little long. Before I took all of the RT’s out, it was War and Peace Cordially, Caroline (aka @WiiPigSooie) justinbangs: #Gov20 in Action! Stakeholder comment processes on #publichealthRead… Read more »

Having cut my teeth at a company that counted former FDIC chair Bill Seidman as a partner, the parallels between the 80’sRead… Read more »
For a few months now, I’ve been repeating this mantra about how to approach social media projects: mission, tool, metrics, teach. It was even one of the options for the day 1 camp song at Gov’t 2.0 Camp. It came to me while walking home from the Metro one day. I was trying to comeRead… Read more »
Good morning, I will continue trying to eliminate all of the RT’s and re-posts. If I miss some, please forgive me.

Good morning. It’s your weekly dose of TSP Talk. Although the Dow managed a small gain, stocks and bonds were mostly down on Friday after the surprising stronger than expected payroll report. If you missed it, there were 345,000 jobs lost in May, much fewer than the 520,000 that were expected. The 9.4% unemployment rateRead… Read more »
