Federal Government Social Media Camp
Today at GSA, 100+ Federal government employees joined us for the first Federal Social Media Camp. The purpose was to launch a new, diverse federal-focused social media community of practice that can help government agencies achieve their mission and reach citizens with social media.
- RT Stacy Paloski Thanks @JustinHerman @TammiM @GovNewMedia for great day getting all us social folks together talking. Let's keep it up.
- It also was an opportunity to share recent developments in social media, including the signing of the federal-friendly Terms of Service agreement with Google+ and the development of an online Federal Social Media Directory, which will officially launch in July 2012.

The community will provide support through networking and collaboration.
Best bit from #SocialGov: Agency rep said, I'm the only one & have no team. @JustinHerman [waving arms around room] WE are your team now!- Breakout sessions included both basic training in social media tools and more advanced group discussions on analytics and performance metrics, mobile government, big data and social media and Terms of Service negotiations.
