One of the main tools for the Gov 2.0 movement has  been social media, as activists and line workers join technologists and  political reformers in calling for more open communication between  officials and agencies and the public they represent and serve.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2066\" title=\"government20_225\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2010\/06\/government20_225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2010\/06\/government20_225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2010\/06\/government20_225-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Last week,  Government 2.0 \u2013 a term  first used by Bill Eggers in his 2005 e-gov-focused book of the same  name, and that has become almost synonymous with Web 2.0 as developers  have turned on to the promise of government-brokered data troves and  universal open standards \u2013 won a significant victory. San  Francisco-based Twitter, the  popular social media messaging service that has serves as a platform for  thousands of startups using its architecture and user base, announced  that it is hiring for its first field office, focused on the government  sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter Goes to DC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Twitter&#8217;s job  posting and further remarks by corporate spokesman Sean Garrett explain  the DC-based position as the first step towards a public affairs unit,  with support for innovative and engaging uses of Twitter in politics and  policymaking. A new blog by Garrett and his team has since March been  highlighting interesting government uses of the platform, from San  Francisco&#8217;s integration of Twitter and 311 non-emergency service  requests, to construction updates and border crossing wait times by  tweet, to the British Prime Minister&#8217;s communications usage.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter, thanks  to millions of  active and aggressive content-sharers and innovators around the world,  has transformative powers. Conan O&#8217;Brien took to the service to recreate  himself after losing his show, creating numerous accounts, rallying his  fan base and using the free and frenetic publicity it to launch a  comedy tour. Legendary film critic Roger Ebert, after panning Twitter as  trite, has become one of its staunchest advocates, using it to deliver  and amplify commentary on everything from film to politics to sport and  humanism. Newark Mayor Corey Booker has used it to spread a hands-on  philosophy of hope far beyond his New Jersey township.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter Grows Due to User  Innovations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Twitter&#8217;s  growth and popular features have often evolved from the minds and whims  of its user base, from the intensely popular &#8220;retweet&#8221; convention for  repeating and affirming others&#8217; messages, to the hashtag form of  semantic tagging in its short messages, to Follow Friday, the day that  tweeps around the world recognize friends and favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Government 2.0 \u2013  which first hit  Twitter&#8217;s mainstream of &#8220;trending topics&#8221; during a March 16, 2009, pilot  broadcast of the Gov 2.0 Radio podcast including govies, contractors  and consultants calling in from South by Southwest and their DC-area  homes \u2013 is now set to join the legacy of user-driven Twitter  conventions. The first Twitter office outside of San Francisco will help  connect politicians with their constituents and agencies with the  public. It will help serve an engaged and innovative Government 2.0  movement, while that movement continues to shape and grow Twitter&#8217;s  utility.<\/p>\n<p>Government 2.0  and the use of  social media for politics and public service are still in their infancy,  but it&#8217;s safe to say that Twitter&#8217;s new focus on this arena is a  milestone of which we can be proud.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>References:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160430055559\/http:\/\/cleveraccounts.posterous.com\/tag\/government\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clever  Twitter Accounts \u2013 Government<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How  Conan O\u2019Brien Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Twitter<\/p>\n<p>Roger  Ebert \u2013 Tweet!
