Government agencies and social media strategies

I have star­ted writ­ing a series of posts on Gov­ern­ment agen­cies and social media strategies over on my other blog. The first Why gov­ern­ment agen­cies need a social media strategy was writ­ten last week. The second is a rather dry look at the work­ings of Social Media Strategy and Social Media Policy in Gov­ern­ment was pos­ted tonight. The third on the less dry How to get your agency inter­ested in a Social Media Strategy, should be arrive in a few days, I just need to find the right examples.

The examples I am seek­ing are not of gov­ern­ment agen­cies using social media, but social media about gov­ern­ment agen­cies, so if you know of any blogs, face­book groups etc about gov­ern­ment agen­cies and their policies by cli­ents, cit­izens or ex-employees, please let me know.

Why am I writ­ing about Social Media Strategy and Gov­ern­ment. I am the first to admit I am not an expert social media strategist. How­ever, I do know a lot about social media and I have spent close to a dozen years work­ing in the policy and com­mu­nic­a­tions sec­tions of vari­ous gov­ern­ment depart­ments, so I have a good under­stand­ing of Gov­ern­ment Com­mu­nic­a­tions Strategy. That com­bin­a­tion is rare, so I will­ing to put my opin­ions out there.
