Government And Transparency In Social Media

Do you feel that the government that is in place now, has transparency when it comes to social media? Currently and in times past, do you feel that the Presidential environment openly use social media to communicate with the masses? No longer are the masses OK with a message that is watered down.

The masses are wanting the government to have openiness when it comes to using social media as one of the ways that they have chosen to communicate. Some of the ways that the current government is using social media are:

• YouTube channel – White House
• Twitter – White House
• Twitter – President Obama
• Twitter – Obama News
• Twitter – Michelle Obama News
• Facebook – White House
• Myspace – White house

These are just a few of the links that are available to have readily accesibility to the government via social media. Actually, there are additional websites where the White House communicates through social media. You can find out more by visiting their official blog – White House Blog.

In the video below, you will hear about an early requested transparency for the White House communications via social media (early 2009). What are your thoughts? Please feel free to share your comments.
