I’ve been trying to follow what’s going on in the government space in the use of blogs, besides elected officials, and I’m not finding much going on. USA.gov – the governmentwide portal – has been tracking the use of blogs and has identified only a dozen active blogs. However, recently Marcus Peacock, deputy administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, started blogging. I think he’s the highest-ranked political appointee in the federal government to launch an external-to-government blog. It’s actually pretty good, too!

Thought-provoking post. Political blogging - truly my sweetspot, I think - is most robust among campaigns in the US, not agencies or even legislators. I don't see the current administration wanting to open up their online properties to unscreened comment. Actually, we in the US are far behind government leaders in other parts of the world. FP Magazine just ran a "web exclusive" piece on some noteworthy foreign government bloggers: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3909 I'm waiting to see if David Miliband will take up blogging again. As you know, Gordon Brown named him Foreign Secretary. He had a blog as Blair's Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. He even tried to start a wiki but trolls brought it down. I doubt Miliband will have the time to blog now, but we'll see. I wrote about it: http://itsnotalecture.blogspot.com/2007/07/blogging-foreign-secretary.html Thanks again, Geoff - seriously, a rockstar post. Dude, you are a ROCKSTAR. Thought-provoking post.
