Gov 2.0 - Smarter Government
Instead of rehashing and redefining the term, I will use my own judgement for what the term means.
Gov 2.0: Using technology to improve government.
To that end, there appears to be some strong support from the administration to follow through and fund ventures that "accelerate new cross-governmental computing strategies, such as cloud computing, data center consolidation and enterprisewide support systems." OMB has requested $50 million to do just that. Of course when G.W. asked for $35 million, he only got back $3.5 million. Still, I would say the media attention of late, i.e. the O'Reilly Summit , means that there is growing public support for smarter government.
Maybe that'd be a better name for Gov 2.0 which sounds like some shoddy application I am forced to use at work and simply detest. Smart Gov? SGov? Public Works 2.0? ... (beginning to sound like Monopoly re-branded for Gen Z kids)..
