It was an interesting time in the Christmas to New Year break in the West, on one hand the pace slows down operationally but on the other hand more time gets devoted towards thinking a little more strategically.

Who’s Leading the Charge to Web 2.0?
Today I read a recently released white paper, Government 2.0: Building Communities with Web 2.0 and Social Networking. Overall, I thought the paper did a good job summarizing much of the ongoing, online discussions and research on this topic.

Propagating Citizen 2.0
adrielhampton.com – The intent of my blog is to increase the acceptance and practice of Web 2.0 concepts in governance.
