TECHNOLOGY AND THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT
06/17/2009
Do you surf the Web for at least 30 minutes a day, read the news online and correspond with colleagues via e-mail all day long? Congratulations. You would have been leading the pack a decade ago.
Or, are you a microblogging, social networking, media tagging extraordinaire?
Social media tools matter. Especially now. President Obama is pushing agencies to engage the public more by asking them to submit opinions and questions. Many agencies already have posted blogs, set up Twitter accounts and created Facebook pages. Chances are, your agency or office is already making use of some type of social media.
You may think you already have a handle on all things Web 2.0. Or you may be confused by all of the social networking applications, lingo and features. Either way, why not take Nextgov's quick test to find out how much you really know? This unscientific short quiz touches on everything from microblogging to social bookmarking. See where you stand -- and, let us know what you think of the test in the Nextgov Forum . . . or at our Twitter account ... or on our Facebook page.
