Making government more open and social

Making government more open and social

The questions also herald underlying forces at work in the government landscape in many countries around the world, including the United states.

Here are some of the initiatives that are taking place this year and what’s happening with Government 2.0 as 2010 begins to heat up.

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 22, 2010

Two significant and closely related trends in enterprise computing this year are the growth of Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and social computing.
