In Phil Windley’s blog last Friday:
I just got off the phone with Blake Harris who’s writing a story on blogging in the public sector for Public CIO. We had a great chat about the uses of blogs in state and local government. I pointed him at the blogs of the Chief of Police and City Manager for Eden Prairie, MN. These guys are still at it and their blogs appear as great as they did when I first saw them. Makes you want to visit.
Windley also mentioned “these guys” in his blog back in July. (I’m sure they’d be pleased to have you visit, Phil.)
Windley is a prof at Brigham Young University, formerly Chief Information Officer (CIO) for the State of Utah. Blake Harris of Public CIO interviewed one or both of the Eden Prairie bloggers yesterday.
I’ve contacted them to let them know about the U.K. project, the Northfield.org’s civic blogosphere project, and some of the citizen journalism projects being followed by Professor Len Witt and his Public Journalism Network.
