Something for Everyone

A social media directory launched last year by the General Services Administration has something for everyone, including links to G.S.A. Facebook and Twitter sites.

Other government agencies that have launched their own social media directories include the U.S. Geological Survey, Homeland Security Department and Defense Department.

Besides Facebook and Twitter links, here are some highlights of the G.S.A. site (www.gsa.gov/portal/category/100139):

>> LinkedIn links to P.B.S. Industry Relations and IWACenter.

>> YouTube links to G.S.A. videos, the U.S. Government Channel, GobiernoUSA.gov, and Kids.gov.

>> R.S.S. feeds for G.S.A. news releases, G.S.A. Web news, and speeches by the G.S.A. administrator and other key agency officials

>> Links to G.S.A. blogs, including “Around the Corner” by CIO Casey Coleman, “Great Government Through Technology” by Mary Davies of the Federal Acquisition Service, and “GovGab,” which includes information on saving for retirement, airline travel fee policies, national parks programs, and more.
