Here’s a Federal Times article on federal agencies using the IdeaScale platform to do online discussion forums. IdeaScale’s demo can be seen here, along with their OpenGov forum (done in conjunction with the National Academy of Public Administration). And ReadWriteWeb has a good overview of IdeaScale.
Also, IdeaScale is @IdeaScale on Twitter.

To follow up on yesterday’s post on using internal blogs, Government Technology talks about how Oakland County uses an internal blog to save money:
Phil Bertolini, CIO of Oakland County, Mich., established a Cost-Reduction/Investment blog in summer 2009 on which employees, regardless of rank, could propose cost-cutting ideas. Suggestions from the blog have slashed $600,000 from the county’s annual IT budget so far.

Another of the Governing magazine articles on social media in government: Twitter and Earthquake Detection. This one is a short article about a U.S. Geological Survey system (the Twitter Earthquake Detector) that pulls tweets and other user-made updates (and photos) that specifically relate to earthquakes. The purpose of the project is to allow quicker detection and notification of earthquakes.
