Great .Gov Web Sites
Posted on July 29th, 2009 by Craig Newmark
Hey, lots of people in US government doing increasingly good jobs of customer service, and Government Computer News has a good list for everyone to check out at Great .Gov Web Sites
One example:
Data.Gov sets the tone for transparent government
SITE: Data.Gov | USASpending.gov
AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget/General Services Administration
TECHNOLOGIES:
- LAMP stack (Linux, Apache HTTP server, MySQL, and PHP).
- Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight visualization software.
- The Drupal Content Management System.
- Google Motion Chart (free, publicly available Web service).
- Really Simple Syndication (RSS).
- Google keyhole Markup Language (KML).
I also liked the use of Flash at Utah.gov, hardly looks like a .gov site.
