This document discusses how government can better embrace social media to communicate with the public. It notes that people, especially younger generations, increasingly use mobile apps and social networks to communicate. However, government still relies primarily on one-way communication methods like websites and email lists. The document suggests that government should communicate through multiple social channels simultaneously and be responsive to public feedback in order to better serve citizens in the modern era of technology. It provides examples of how government agencies can use social games and crowd-sourced crisis maps to engage the public and receive authoritative data.
