The Governments use of the Web2.0 tools was bound to happen. Why wouldn’t they utilise the same applications as private business and the community? What a better way to seem ‘in touch’ with the countries people? As for the movement of Government information into the public domain, well we will see the outcomes in the future; it’s a bit like the unforseen repercussions of personal information on Facebook or an oil spill, we will clean it up later.......
