USDA uses social media to study rural life
Federal Computer Week
A new Web site launched by the Agriculture Department uses social media tools to track the progress of the Rural Tour, a program started by White House officials to learn more about people who live in rural communities, according to USDA officials. The Web site, launched Aug. 17, includes a forum section where people are invited to share stories about life in rural America. The "What's Working" section of the site is designed to let people share information about projects funded by the federal economic stimulus law.
