RT @digiphile: .@StevenVDC: Americans' expectations of #digitalgov are changing: they expect more, & on mobile WH.gov/digitalgov http://pic.twitter.com/eCKPAZMOOne of the hallmarks of the new strategy is a data-first plan. GSA's Data.gov site manages over 450,000 datasets from 172 agencies and more coming all the time.

Government-wide open data policy will transform how citizens use govt information @stevenvdc @todd_park #digitalgov
#digitalgov VanRoekel says data.gov will evolve into a developer portal with links to live data.
"Open data leads to more awesomeness being built." -Park (oddly with no HT to @GovLoop) #digitalgov
"For years its been 'we have ideas, build another website.' Agencies need to look harder at data & context" - Sheila Campbell on #DigitalGov
One of big the deals of #DigitalGov : all content is data, incl. web pages. No more focusing on "data sets" while ignoring websites. #Gov20
#digitalGov: @todd-park says Data .gov was great step forward. But we learned what's better is engaging users, innovators from beginning.
.@Stevenvdc: Agencies will no longer bulk upload to data.gov-site will become dev portal to data housed at agencies #digitalgovPeople want to have access to the government any time, anywhere and on any device. That means mobile is going to be a high priority.
GSA's http://apps.usa.gov has dozens of government mobile apps to help you with everything from contacting Congress to tracking desert tortoises.
When it comes to the power of open data, mobile apps are just the tip of the iceberg #DigitalGov @stevenvDC @todd_park- .@Todd_Park: we don't want the #digitaldivide to reinforce others. We jump to apps too fast. Tip of the iceberg for how #opendata can help.
New #digitalgov strategy not just mobile apps, but people starting to talk to each other and using the data & each other #gov
With new initiatives & "bring your own device" this is important: RT @marydavie: Focus on secure data - not just devices #DigitalGovThis strategy is designed to be "disruptive" to the way government has traditionally worked. GSA's Gwynne Kostin will be heading up the new Digital Services Innovation Center to manage some of this.
#DigitalGov calls for creation of Digital Services Innovation Center; development of APIs by agencies 1.usa.gov/digitalgovstra…
