To do this, the Treasury rapidly deployed a variety of tools to suit their media needs.
THe Treasury office was very easily able to move from a static, simple Web site to something much more dynamic and engaging.

- Using a free twitter service called TwitterMail, DOT was able to simply add an email address to that list, that then automatically tweeted these same updates.
Using the RSS feed from Twitter, DOT was able to embed this same data directly on the DOT Web site.

The Arts Council FaceBook group has over 500 members, with virtually no promotion. Rather, it has grown virally from friend to friend.

The Arts Council now reaches constituents by Web, RSS and Twitter.
Again, users have choices in how they want to consume this content.

“How can I moderate that?”
“how do I keep that appropriate for government use?”
I’d like to show some examples of how you take care of that using some of the sites we’ve just mentioned.
These include wall controls, age restrictions and the capabilities of what users can do when visiting your Facebook page.
You can see in the middle here the settings for wall posts.
At the top, we have a flash-based slideshow
All photos are approved by hand by an administrator - nothing gets through automatically.
Any photos can be retroactively removed immediately.
A legitimate solution already in use by thousands of users worldwide.
RI.gov had in the past used a custom built, in house solution, but found it to be time intensive to maintain, host and support.
Why reinvent the wheel when it’s already been done?
Key point here, you can reach users passionate about images and photography where they are already congregating.
Many digital cameras and cell phones add location data to their photos. Flickr takes advantage of this and provides interesting ways to use it - via an RSS or KML feed.
I’d like to talk about three of them here today.
In addition, our site template adheres to Federal Accessibility standards for Web-based content.
First is Accessibility. By keeping the design elements separate from the HTML content, and only in CSS, we’re able to keep our content accessible to any audience, whether they are using a screen reader, if they are color blind, or using other assistive technologies.
Searchability. Search engines, just like assistive devices have an easier time if design is separated from markup, resulting in great search results.
Findability. Combining these good search results, with the combined presence on other social media sites results in a bigger overall presence on the Web.
Adaptability. While Web standards are changing at a very fast pace, sites coded to these standards will work for a very long time.
Building on our base of good clean HTML, we’re actively pursuing markup techniques that add valuable information to our code. One of those technologies is Microformats.
Microformats are a way to add information about what exactly your content IS, by using an agreed upon technique.
“You did something this way, so I’ll do it that way too”
There are many different Microformats out there - we’re going to look at one example we’re using at RI.gov
We’re going to zoom in on an entry here for the Department of Administration
Right now, it’s a case of stay tuned. But good stuff is coming - major search engines including Yahoo and Google are on board, as are future browsers including Firefox.
More to the point, if you’re adding this stuff to your sites now, why not add it using a standard?
An easy way to future proof your site.
RI.gov debuted a new tag-based version of the RI.gov site earlier this year.
Traditionally we had a hierarchy based navigation. You chose a category, sub category, then viewed a list of links.
We’re excited to see what people come up with as we take this next Web 2.0 step.
