Following last week’s admission that the hacker attack on Google was through an Internet Explorer vulnerability (in IE6, IE7, and IE8), tomorrow Microsoft will issue an out-of-band update for systems. This is after the governments of both Germany and France told citizens to stop using the Internet Explorer web browser.
Mashable has an article on why must end use of Internet Explorer 6, a common vector for attacks.
Do you think it is time to stop using Internet Explorer in government?

Last night the White House announced the availability of a new White House iPhone/iPod Touch app (see coverage on TechCrunch). The App is even going to stream live the President’s State of the Union Address. More on teh features:
The application comes packed with content, including the latest news items, videos, photos and blog posts from The White House. One feature that stands out is live video streaming, which enables iPhone and iPod Touch owners to watch the President’s public events at the White House as well as other events like key speeches and press briefings in real-time.
The White House also announced that they will soon have a mobile site available at http://mobile.whitehouse.gov.

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.

Another of the Governing magazine articles on social media in government: Tweeting for the Public Good, about the State of Utah’s authorization of employees’ use of social media. I enjoyed the entire article, but especially liked this point:
In too many instances, the first inclination of public-agency managers still is to restrict access to popular social-networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube for rank-and-file employees.
That is ironic when you consider some of the terrific uses that state and local governments have found for these tools.
The article mentions the Utah state web portal, which is here. They also have a list of state government Twitterers and blogs.

Governing magazine released a good set of article on social media in government yesterday. I’ll be posting links to all of them, but here is the first. Is Social Media a Friend or Foe of Government? This article had a good quote as well:
Nobody has control over what their Facebook friends do — that’s the fun and the flaw of Web 2.0 for governments. Then again, when citizens go to the microphone at a council meeting, nobody has control over them, either.
