SMC-DC Goes Federal with FCW’s Chris Dorobek

Our next SMC-DC meeting will be May 15 at Viget Labs. We welcome Chris Dorobek, Editor-in-Chief of Federal Computer Week. Chris is no stranger to social media, and he will share his experience with blogging and social networks (visit him on Twitter and Facebook), as well as his opinion of government and military use of Web 2.0.

The federal government strives for collaboration between the different departments and units it holds. The government is still experimenting with social media, with the wiki Intellipedia already in use for the intelligence community, and even the Department of the Navy’s CIO dipping his toes into blogging.

So how else is the government using social media? Are they ready for it, and what’s the value for them? Come discuss the current and future state of Web 2.0 as the government views it.

More details:

Please RSVP by Tuesday, May 13 to Larissa Fair.

Man! I really wish I could make this event as in my professional life the agency I am at is striding ahead in social media applications for government or, e-government, health 2.0, whichever word you prefer. Look forward to reading posts. Contact me to stay in touch or to be fellow blog buddies. =)

Have fun all!

The building blocks of Government 2.0 is in fact rapidly being addressed across multiple contexts in the Federal Government - but it’s not yet very visible, at least to the public. One of the primary building blocks necessary to tackle is information governance, especially important to the Gov community with respect to the spectre of unbridled information-sharing. We talk to this a little at our blog - http://www.dullessouthonline.com/loudoun_SEO/2007/12/information-governance-20-new-seo-role.html .
