"Social Media and Web 2.0 in Government" - Website

The U.S. Federal government has a website dedicated to helping federal, state, and local agencies build and maintain quality websites.  The site offers this about Web 2.0:

"Social Media and Web 2.0 define activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and content creation. Social media tools use the "wisdom of crowds" to collaboratively connect online information. Through social media, people or groups can create, organize, edit, comment on, combine, and share content. Social media and Web 2.0 use many technologies and forms, including RSS and other syndicated web feeds, blogs, wikis, photo–sharing, video–sharing, podcasts, social networking, social bookmarking, mashups, widgets, virtual worlds, microblogs, and more."

The site is a wealth of documentation of best practices for various media.  Check it out, especially if you find yourself working in the federal environment.
