Municipal blogging

One of the impressive things about blogs is their interconnectedness. In one blog entry, a "blogger" can provide links to ten or twenty blogs on a single topic, giving the reader a wealth of potential information to take advantage of. Bloggers are also not afraid to promote each other. I have discovered this recently due to the high number of other blogs that have links to this WDM Blog. One site, for example describes a presentation that was given for Kansas City government webmasters back in June. It has a pretty good list of other municipal officials who are blogging, including a state senator from Hawaii, the mayor of Albuquerque, the LAPD, and US! Among others. This is very useful for making comparisons and contrasts, learning from each other, and getting a bigger picture view of how technology is being used in government to communicate with citizens.
