Web 2.0 and the Iowa government

I was pleased to read an article in the DM Register highlighting all the web 2.0 tools that our Iowa government is embracing. The Iowa Lottery alone is using text-messaging, a Facebook page, a widget with winning lottery numbers, a blog and a twitter. They like to air videos featuring their lottery winners (wish I were one!). The Iowa DOT is using blogs for news releases and traffic incidents. This is only a few of the uses mentioned in the article. Very cool!!! Way to go Iowa!!!
