'''Government 2.0''' is [[neologism]] for attempts to apply the social networking and integration advantages of [[Web 2.0]] to the practice of [[government]]. [[William (Bill) Eggers]] claims to have coined the term in his 2005 book, ''Government 2.0: Using Technology to Improve Education, Cut Red Tape, Reduce Gridlock, and Enhance Democracy.''<ref>[http://www.manhattan-institute.org/government2.0/ ''Government 2.0: Using Technology to Improve Education, Cut Red Tape, Reduce Gridlock, and Enhance Democracy''] Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, January 2005</ref> Government 2.0 is an attempt to provide more effective processes for government service delivery to individuals and businesses. Integration of tools such as [[wiki]]s, development of government-specific social networking sites and the use of blogs, RSS feeds and [[Google Maps]] are all helping governments provide information to people in a manner that is more immediately useful to the people concerned.<ref>[http://www.collaborationproject.org/download/attachments/11206698/EPA+Web+2.0+White+Paper.pdf Environmental Protection Agency Web 2.0 Whitepaper]</ref> |

On January 21, 2009, newly elected President Obama signed one of his first memorandums - the [[Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on Transparency and Open Government]]<ref name="Transparency and Open Government">[http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Transparency_and_Open_Government/ Transparency and Open Government]</ref> In the memo, President Obama called for an unprecedented level of openness in Government, asking agencies to "ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration."<ref name="Transparency and Open Government"/> The memo further "directs the [[Chief Technology Officer]], in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Administrator of General Services (GSA), to coordinate the development by appropriate executive departments and agencies, within 120 days, of recommendations for the Open Government Directive, to be issued by the Director of OMB, that instructs executive departments to take specific actions implementing the principles set forth in the memorandum."<ref name="Transparency and Open Government"/> Common interpretation of this memorandum is that Obama, whose presidential campaign was heavily influenced by [[web 2.0]] technology, is calling for the utilization of web 2.0 technology across all federal departments and agencies. |
