    Just catching up in GovLoop after a prolonged absence!!! Anyone still interested in web talk around communications?

    I’ve personally moved into the open data arena and considering starting something there too.

    Meantime, I still find web specific communications not getting much better when the civic bent is added. I mean, good web writing and…[Read more]

If you know anyone who may be interested, please ask them to join us. I hope we can get some interesting discussion going about teaching web writing and how…[Read more]

    @29lr9bgm169amHi, think it’s great Macs are coming into your place even for a test. Hope it sticks.

    Keith McDonald replied to the topic Are you an owner of a federally-issued Apple??? What’s been your experience? in the forum Forum Discussions 11 years, 5 months ago

    Our I&T does not support Mac but our design team uses them and has a separate support contract. I think with all of the accessibility issues we are facing, govs everywhere need to break out from that locked in thinking. It’s like “it’s my ball and I’ll take it with me if you don’t play a certain way”.

    Hire a Mac specialist or two, integrate your…[Read more]

    Keith McDonald replied to the topic “Twitter [and Maybe Facebook] Crippled By DOS Attack” – Aug 6, 2009 in the forum Forum Discussions 11 years, 5 months ago

    “Twitter wants to establish itself as a communications standard rather than just a social-media brand” – that’s worth a blog on it’s own.

    I found govloop really slow this a.m. too. Is all this akin to a traffic jam on the morning commute? I think it’s something we’re going to have to get used to and I put it out there – what’s the equivalent to…[Read more]

    I should say as we begin: if you find this group of 1 why not join up and then we’ll be 2 and you can tell 2 friends and then we’d be 4.

    Still having problems with web content providers who write as if they are writing an essay? Perhaps they are! So, how do you get them to write/repurpose for the web?

    Keith McDonald replied to the topic Internal social media use in the forum Forum Discussions 11 years, 7 months ago

    Awesome. It occurs to me others success stories such as this can help get support from managers (where I work) to take the steps to make it go. In other words, if other govs are doing it and survived, well, we can too.

    Keith McDonald started the topic Internal social media use in the forum Forum Discussions 11 years, 7 months ago

    Hey folks, we started an internal social media tool to help bring staff up to speed on using social media. We call it “webbook”. Still in its infancy but, much like trying to lose weight, you hit plateaus that make growth stall up. In particular, involvement from bloggers to keep content fresh and coming. We are hearing “time” is an issue but we…[Read more]
