Look who’s talking about the new Web 2.0 Guidelines

If you guessed me, you’d be wrong.

Here is everything I have read thus far on the subject (presented in the order I read them):

• Address by Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board, at PSEngage
• Guideline for External Use of Web 2.0
• Guideline for Digital Oblivion (Jarius Khan)
• Web 2.0 Comes to Ottawa With Red Tape Attached (Metaviews)
• Social media 101: Feds roll out guidelines for Twitter, Facebook (Globe and Mail)
• The Canadian Government’s New Web 2.0 Guidelines: the Good, the Bad & the Ugly (David Eaves)
• Guideline for External Use of Web 2.0 in the Government of Canada (Mike Kujawksi)

If I missed anything, let me know, and I can retroactively add it to the list.

Two things I haven’t seen mentioned in the commentary yet:

1. How the guidelines (and probably more importantly the code of values and ethics) relate to anonymity or pseudonymity online.
2. According to Treasury Board Secretariat guidelines are usually targeted at managers and functional specialists and the application there of are voluntary (as compared to say a directive where enforcement is mandatory).

Cheers
