- To tweet or not to tweet: Feds weigh the dangers and benefits
- By Alice Lipowicz. Federal Computer Week, May 4, 2012. "Because Twitter is a place for rapid-fire public dialogues and all 24 major federal agencies are now using the platform, you might expect lots of conversations about government technology policy to be happening on the site. They are, but you have to know where to look. You won't find much interaction in the official agency Twitter feeds, which are mostly press releases and generic announcements. And the personal Twitter accounts of many federal executives are not necessarily social or even active..."
