Just in case you haven’t seen this presentation from a Bev Godwin, Director, USA.gov & Web Best Practices, Office of Citizen Services, U.S. General Services Administration on Government and Social Media (from March 2008), I wanted to forward along: http://www.usa.gov/webcontent/documents/Government_and_Social_Media.pdf
It has some good examples of how social media is being used in U.S. Government agencies.
Thanks for posting this presentation, Nicole! In order to add to the repository, here’s a link to a customized version of a presentation on Gov 2.0 that I have been delivering over the past year:

I delivered this workshop for the State Department’s Youth Programs Division back in October 2008. Next week, I’m delivering a webinar for the California Certified Public Manager program and am going to include state and local examples (with the help of GovLoopers, hopefully!)
Thanks again for sharing it.
There’s also this list of examples from the Federal Web Managers Council, which Bev sponsors: http://www.usa.gov/webcontent/documents/ExamplesofUsingTechnologyandContenttoAchieve%20Agency.pdf
and other papers on social media from the Council: http://www.usa.gov/webcontent/about/documents.shtml#whitepaper
