To anyone who thought government is too big, too set in its ways to truly embrace Web 2.0, I say, "phooey."On July 26, just in time for it's 75th anniversary, the Office of the Federal Register rolled out Federal Register 2.0.

Without a doubt, there's a lot to be gained when government leverages Web 2.0 tools to provide better communications and service.

I had a great time giving a workshop on Web Governance in the Federal sector earlier this week. It's always rewarding to spend a day sharing best practices and lessons learned with Web managers and this workshop was an especially good one.

The other day I was giving a presentation to a client and, in the midst of describing my background, realized that most of the people in the room were still in middle school when I started my career in the Web.

I'm a sucker for "best of" and "top 10" lists. I enjoy them for the kernels of knowledge that I can file away for future reference.
