We generally block "social networking" sites but do allow a small quota
that folks can use.  We allow access to Youtube which is used by the
state and federal agencies for a lot of communication.  I have a feeling
that a lot of thinking will change on all of this in time.  I can
remember when the Internet was considered "not a business need" but
today it is generally a critical resource!  Ditto email.

PS  We are considering a workshop on this topic at the Spring 2010
Virginia Emergency Management Syposium.  As I get more info on that I
will be glad to share it.

Good morning listserv members,

I'd like to start a thread about the use of social networking sites
(Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.) in state and local government.  Is
your organization using one or more of these sites?  If so, what are you
using it for?  

Thank you,
Siri Berdahl
