eGov News and Notes John is calling RSS a melting pot of innovative thinking.  He's certainly correct about that. A couple of weeks ago, Joi Ito produced a Privacy Report for Electronic Government for the Ministry of Public Management in Japan. I came across the BuyUSA Network, a Federal site aimed at supporting exporters and importers of US goods and services.  I need to make sure this is linked from our new state business portal. The American Planning Association does a regular column on egovernment.  Back in January, they mentioned Neighborhood Knowledge California, an interesting interactive GIS tool that can be used to engage citizens in the local planning process. Here's a new eGov blog maintained by an intern for Cruz Bustamante, the Lieutenant Governor of California. Rory Perry points to a directory of journalist weblogs.  I recently interviewed with a local report on the value of weblogs.  I wish I had this list at that time.  Rory also mentions the introduction of the National Do Not Call Registry.  I do not like to be called by telemarketers, but I'm wondering about the economic impact of this initiative, particularly in areas where telemarketing is the primary job source for youth (16-25). 8:17:07 AM    comment []
