| We'll have to see how they use it, but the redesign of the website for the Governor now prominently features links to twitter, facebook and rss feeds. Here's a screenshot, pointed out by Melli Strategies: (a Blue Jersey advertiser) 
The links are on every page of the site. It's a very clean design and layout, but still a work in progress as some links don't work just yet. The site also features a blog, which Governor Corzine didn't have, that has one post from the day of the inauguration. While the new site has a facebook page, they have to approve you as a friend, rather than having a public fan page as Corzine did. If you're a new media fan like me, you like seeing the new Governor continue what they started in the campaign when they aggressively used twitter and youtube to communicate and drive their message. No doubt Ron Rice Sr. will think the links to new media on the site and my post pointing them out are a waste of time, but I think it has the potential to make the government more accessible to the people they are charged with serving. It's too early to tell just how they will use the mediums, but it's an encouraging start. |
