- Open Government Directive http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Transparency_and_Open_Government/ FINDINGS FROM WEB 2.0 STUDY: Rise of User-Generated Content . . . . Government needs to meet citizens where they are – government needs to reach out, not expect people to come to their websites (e.g., CDC in Whyville for flu) Citizens are willing to interact with government agencies online. The role of 3 rd party intermediaries will increase. Government provides data, intermediaries will customize, reconfigure, distribute. Government will need to rethink content and service design. More granular, so intermediaries can tailor. Government will have to find ways to embed authority. Citizens trust government with private data, but not for service efficiency. Access, privacy, quality, security.
