I'm guessing that data would be really hard to put together as it would be tricky to define what counts as spend on social media/networks. Staff time? Contractor time? Software? Internal development?

I wonder if INPUT or MarketConnections or FedSources has something. Also perhaps ITspending.gov

I'm working on the same problem at the moment. Any success in tracking these numbers down?

sorry - i have nothing really - I think the best way to get something is looking at salaries of Directors of Social Media in the various agencies.
