So many things happened today that my head is spinning.
If your head is spinning, too, you might appreciate a handy-dandy link list.
U.S. Government YouTube hub: gives you quick access to all agency channels.
White House blog post re: Gov’t 2.0: Bev Godwin highlights social media projects all across government. Features a video with White House New Media Director Macon Phillips giving a guided tour of many gov’t 2.0 sites.
Data.gov: the new gov’t-wide site designed to give you raw data to play with. Mashups, anyone?
Round 2 of the Open Gov’t Initiative: the White House invites all Americans to suggest ideas on how to make the gov’t more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. The site features an innovations gallery, showing the best of open gov’t.

And here’s my bold prediction: in a year, we’ll look back on this stuff and laugh at how little we were doing back then.
Thanks for the roundup, and the bold prediction!
Appreciate your efforts to be our F-18 flying scout on gov20. Did I just hear a sonic boom? 🙂

Wahoo! Where to start? But wait, we already have… 😉 OpenGov21 is 5 months old, and hopefully beginning to talk. Now let’s get the training wheels off, and start peddling.
A great day. But as I told someone the other day…maybe there are 50 cool gov 2.0 examples right now….in a year there will be 500. And in 3 years it will 5,000. There are still many interesting problems and challenges along the way. Should be a fun ride.
Nice list. Bookmarked the sites form reference.
