Find Public Domain Photos: McKinsey's Advice for Spending Billions Better
Saturday, July 18. 2009 at 05:27 PM by Coby Logen McKinsey contributed its advice about what the future of e-government needs in its report E-Government 2.0 (PDF) last week.
At times the report simply reads like the wish list of every government web professional. Yet, it is good to have McKinsey's reputation backing up the recommendations. McKinsey mentions the need to elevate web sites and web applications to a strategic, essential element of each agency's business. The report recommends accomplishing this by holding the "line of business" managers accountable for web application successes or failures and supporting them with cross-functional teams.
This would be a huge step in the right direction. ... Continue reading >> The Open Government Conversation Continues

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the White House has been blogging about and moderating a public conversation about Open Government for a few weeks, and they recently put out a great summary of the discussion about Collaboration proposals....

On the Regulations.gov Exchange, users can discuss upcoming design changes on Regulations.gov.

Welcome to the Federal Web Renaissance Tuesday, May 5. 2009 at 11:31 PM by Coby Logen in Government 2.0
It is a good time to be a Federal web professional. When I began this blog a few years ago, the innovative spirit of the Federal web community was greatly restrained by the staid attitudes of Federal executives and Administration appointees.
This is changing fast—and in favor of innovation.... Continue reading >> Ballot Usability Problems May Strike Again
Wednesday, October 29. 2008 at 01:06 AM by Coby Logen in Elections The course of history changed in 2000 due, almost indisputably, to ballot design.
Despite the will of U.S. voters, a usability problem with the infamous "butterfly ballot" in Palm Beach County, Florida allowed George W. Bush to become President of the United States. Every state in the country is bracing for record voter turnout next week. And usability problems will surely cause more incorrect or disqualified votes this year. Although it is too late to change ballots or voting interfaces for this election, it is never too late to reflect on what more can be improved. ... Continue reading >>
Marcus Peacock, EPA Blogger Shows Real Leadership Monday, October 6. 2008 at 11:47 PM by Coby Logen in Government 2.0
It is rare to find a government executive who will take a risk, but Marcus Peacock is one. Mr. Peacock is the Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and he has shown real leadership with his push to use blogging to support EPA's mission. In July 2007 (coincidentally, when DotGovWatch also began) he began The Flow of the River. It created the momentum to establish EPA's newer, larger blog: Greenversations, which Mr. Peacock now writes for.
There has been a good deal of discussion among federal web managers regarding the pros and cons of blogging. But in general, government managers are afraid…afraid of criticism.... Continue reading >> Utah Senator Crusades for Bureaucratic Gobbledygook
Thursday, September 18. 2008 at 02:37 AM by Coby Logen in Congress in Action Senator Bennett from Utah is single-handedly quashing the most commonsense, bi-partisan bill this year–a requirement that the U.S. government write clear, concise, and intelligible English. And he is doing so based on a misreading of the bill.
Never mind the bill's near unanimous (376-1) passage in the House. Never mind that the bill simply reiterates an active Executive Order and memoranda from Presidents Clinton, Carter, and Nixon. And never mind that millions of Americans are befuddled by bureaucratic forms every day. One senator from Utah has concerns, so it will not go to a vote.... Continue reading >>
Obama's Campaign Web Team Is Asleep at the Helm Sunday, September 7. 2008 at 11:43 PM by Coby Logen in Elections
screenshot of Barack Obama's campaign website in the Catalyst Group's usability evaluation reportBarack Obama has an attractive campaign website with some nice online grassroots tools for volunteers. Nonetheless, Obama's campaign Web team is making some novice mistakes as the campaign progresses. A well-done usability evaluation performed by the Catalyst Group in August found that McCain's website is generally easier to use than Obama's website....
