Many of you in this group have likely been using social media as part of your city's communications strategy for at least a couple years now...and you likely have lessons learned in terms of measuring success. What are those?

How do you measure your local government's social media success?

It'll be interesting to see how this trickle downs to munis/locals - good post looking ahead at state governments in 2012 - http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/creating-a-government-innovat...

Incredibly important conversation here - new analysis from a researcher at University of North Carolina finds that a high percentage of cities / counties studied have plucked the low-hanging fruit to get ahold of dire financial situations. But they need to get bolder if any sustainable efficiency is to be achieved:

As I just shared on Twitter, I think this post really spells out one of the core issues of Gov 2.0 right now - integrating the right data into our core city websites:

If you haven't seen these recent posts that feature "City Hall Fellows," I'd encourage you to check them out. Inspiring work and a great program that helps fresh-out-of-college graduates to consider local government as a job option:

Did your cell phone work in the first hour or two after the August 23 earthquake?  It was eerily reminiscent of what happened ten years ago on 9/11.  On that day clogged or damaged networks and mass confusion led to miscommunication which contributed to loss of life.  The 9/11 Commission recommended a nationwide wireless emergency communications network for our first responders.  Ten years later, it still does not exist.

 

How do we build trust between Federal agencies, first responders and the public in order to effectively share information?

Come discuss this Sep 13 & 14 in Springfield, VA with Federal agencies and first responders http://www.afei.org/events/1A07/Pages/default.aspx

Speakers from NGB, STAR-TIDES, InRelief, FEMA, DHS, DISA, Army PEO-EIS, Arlington County and Monterey PD's, and more.

Keynote from James Schwartz, Chief Arlington County Fire Dept and on-scene commander at the Pentagon during 9/11.

The City & County of Honolulu launched the latest version of its "Can-Do Honolulu" website.  The new website features mobile device apps and financial documents. The new website is mobile optimized.

There's some great stuff happening in Boston via Code for America that ought to be replicated across municipal governments...especially in the school systems:
