A New Registry of Verified Government Social Media Accounts

The US Digital Registry aims to be the authoritative source for all official social media accounts used by federal agencies. The registry also lists official government mobile apps and mobile websites. Besides authenticating government accounts, General Services Administration officials who worked on compiling the registry over the past year hope it can also help developers create new apps and widgets built on the data and content agencies produce every day across a plethora of social media accounts and other third-party sites.
