Obama Administration Continues to Adopt New Media

Departments across the Administration continue to try to leverage social media tools to help make government more open and transparent. The Department of Justice announced the launch of the new Justice.gov and new profiles on Twitter, YouTube , MySpace and Facebook. Secretary Salazar from the Department of Interior launched new profiles on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and even a Flickr page that offers photos from the U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service and other bureaus. On Facebook, you can now become a fan of Education Secretary Duncan. You can now follow Transportation Secretary LaHood and Commerce Secretary Locke on Twitter.
