			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning, NASA Astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock <a href="http://twitter.com/Astro_Wheels/status/28413368547">checked</a> <a href="http://foursquare.com/astro_wheels/badges/4cc1a93eaa5776b0ee177644">into</a> the location-based social network, <a href="http://foursquare.com">foursquare</a>.  The surprising news?  He checked into the International Space Station.  And it&#8217;s getting a whole lot of press, from places like the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gVrUF_fyG-sHG3-MBQ7ySY6paU2A?docId=CNG.0507ccd047ad4a459bbdbcd14be4accc.231">AFP</a>, <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2371303,00.asp">PC Mag</a>, and <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/22/foursquare-space-astronaut/">TechCrunch</a>.</p>
<p>NASA is making a full-court press with the use of social networks.  Check out their <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/connect/"><em>Connect and Collaborate with NASA</em></a> website.  There they link to organizational and personal accounts on <a href="http://followyourgov.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://followyourgov.com/tag/facebook/">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://followyourgov.com/tag/youtube/">YouTube</a>, <a href="http://followyourgov.com/tag/flickr/">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://followyourgov.com/tag/foursquare/">foursquare</a>, Gowalla, ustreamTV, and <a href="http://followyourgov.com/tag/myspace/">Myspace</a>.</p>
<p>NASA has quite a collection of social network profiles.  I wouldn&#8217;t expect any local government to rival this, but look at NASA&#8217;s profiles, and see if you can learn something from how they use Twitter, Facebook, and the like.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The International City/County Management Association (<a href="http://icma.org/">ICMA</a>) <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icma/">has had a Flickr account</a> (<a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/photosharing">a photo sharing social network</a>) since 2008.  Today <a href="http://icma.org/main/ns.asp?nsid=4854&amp;hsid=1&amp;ssid1=2505&amp;ssid2=2506&amp;ssid3=2506&amp;scid=1">ICMA has announced</a> that they are looking to share your photos of government in action:</p>
<blockquote><p>In partnership with 3CMA, ICMA is seeking to capture the essence of local government through photos! Join 3CMA and ICMA on Flickr by submitting original photos of &#8220;local government action.&#8221; These photos will be used to enhance marketing materials for 3CMA, ICMA, and participating jurisdictions, as well as give the general public another way to see what&#8217;s going on in our local governments.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a pretty neat idea, to crowdsource (or city source, if you will) finding good photos for marking materials.</p>
<p>You can submit photos <a href="http://www.3cma.org/forms.aspx?FID=71">through their online form</a>.</p>
