Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.org, has a great piece at The Huffington Post on how social media and Web 2.0 tools have changed the work dynamics of many federal employees, thus resulting in better levels of public service. "The challenge will be too many good ideas," he writes, asserting the need to break down the barriers to Gov 2.0 within agencies and get the word out on innovative Gov 2.0 projects government workers are putting in place.
"These workers are already using social media to spread the new word of public service," Newmark writes. "That is, government staffers affirm the value of their work to each other. It's up to citizens like us to do the same thing."
