Social Government

In a follow up to yesterdy’s poll, it seems that a plurality of our readers think federal Web sites most often lack user commenting capability. If you believe that this is an issue, then be sure to check out this previous post, “Should Government Blogs Allow Questions?”

Here’s the rundown:

• 33 percent: User Comments
• 17 percent: Wikis
• 17 percent: Blogs
• 17 percent: Other
• 8 percent: Podcasts
• 8 percent: RSS
• 0 percent: Twitter

The comments from people who answered “Other” ranged from “Open Data” to “A government standard reporting language to let taxpayers compare the effectiven [sic].”

Thanks for voting. Unlike many federal Web sites, commenting is allowed here, so be sure to share your reaction! Also, voting will remain open.
