Top 10 Government Social Networking Sites to Keep You in the Loop!

Colleagues,

As reported in Federal Computer Week ... these are the government IT social-networking sites that will do a good job of keeping you in the loop & on the cutting edge!

1. GovLoop -- GovLoop has rapidly established itself as the pre-eminent location on the Web where government people can meet and interact with like-minded souls.

2. Gov Twit --GovTwit is the site to find out what’s happening on Twitter across the global government community, including relevant sites from academia, industry, media and nonprofits.

3. NAPA Collaboration Project -- A wikified space that seeks to gather and share ideas and insights about how the government can solve — or at least improve — its myriad problems using Web 2.0 technologies.

4. The Gov IT Wiki -- A wisdom-of-the-crowd site, it covers all things related to government IT, with lists of tech trends, agencies, budgets, contracts and more, contributed by IT folks and interested bystanders.

5. NASA CoLab -- The many NASA communities can connect and collaborate on projects among themselves and with the agency's external partners.

6. The Federal Contractor Network -- Not to be outdone, federal contractors now have their own site they can use to find government job opportunities — and it's a place to kvetch.

7. GovStation -- Described as the first anonymous discussion forum for government employees and contractors, its themes run the gamut from careers to IT, Gov 2.0 and security clearances.

8. Sensorpedia -- The Oak Ridge National Laboratory launched this site to try to use social networking to organize and provide near real-time collaboration among U.S. and global communities that need to share important sensor data.

9. FedScoop -- Not strictly a social-networking site, it is the most comprehensive one-stop introduction to government-related blogs and other Web 2.0 sources.

10. MeritTalk -- The site is a marketplace of ideas from some of the most provocative voices in the government IT community, with plenty of research and stats to back them up.
