A few key findings:
- The top Gov 2.0 tools being used have shifted. Today, video and multimedia sharing (53%) and government-specific social media networks (50%) are the most commonly used tools, replacing general social networks and blogs, which were the top picks in the 2010 study.
- Security concerns are still the top barrier to the adoption of Gov 2.0 (40%), but they aren’t the only obstacle to adopting the initiatives. Lack of budget (20%) and technical expertise and ability (14%) are also standing in the way.
- 72% of government IT professionals think that the proliferation of tablets and mobile devices has had a positive impact on their agency Positive impacts include greater freedom among agency employees to use mobile devices (61%), greater innovation (52%) and expanded adoption of Gov 2.0 technologies (48%)
