Gov 2.0: Mission, Tools, Metrics, Teach (The Four Laws of Levy)
I got thinking again this week about one of my favorite Gov 2.0 practitioners, the EPA’s Jeffrey Levy.Levy is important not just because he’s one of the nicest folks in Gov 2.0, which he is, but because he’s making real strides in creating road maps for integration of social media into the practice of government.…

Personally, I like lists as a way to discover new recommendations in communities of interest, and also as a way to quickly tune into those communities. Creating and following…
