- The difference between Gov 1.0 and Gov 2.0 - as demonstrated by the Queensland and Victorian State Governments
- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's personal eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Wednesday, June 9, 2010. "I see a lot of examples of Gov 1.0 and Gov 2.0 these days, but one I saw recently struck me an an object example of the differences between these approaches - how far Australian government has come, and how far there is left to go. In May the Victorian government quietly launched its ICT Plan Blog to consult online on issues related to the production and use of ICT..."

- Yes Minister, version 2.0
- by Andrea DiMaio, Gartner, June 3, 2010. "On Wednesday had a great meeting with a federal government organization in Australia that exemplifies very well the struggle that many capable people face when dealing with government 2.0 and social media strategies... they wanted to discuss how to create a virtual space that government would offer to people to participate. When I asked the reason why they were asking a question that they knew made little sense, the answer was: 'this is what the minister wants and this is what we have to deliver'..."

- Making Sense of Gov 2.0 Strategies: 'No Citizens, No Party'
- by Enrico Ferro, Francesco Molinari. JeDEM - eJournal of eDemocracy and Open Government, Vol 2, No 1 (2010). "... In this paper, we contend that the presence of a considerable variance in terms of political interests, educational level and technological skills makes it very difficult to design workable and effective systems to support participation. A modular strategy is then recommended requiring policy designers to make a step towards citizens rather than expecting the citizenry to move their content production activity onto the 'official' spaces created for ad hoc participation..."

- Gov 2.0: The Next Internet Boom
- The emerging online field is helping entrepreneurs help governments work better, By John Tozzi. Bloomberg Business Week, May 27, 2010. "Kevin Merritt never intended to become a government contractor when he launched Socrata, an online service making it easy to share data—anything from crime statistics to football schedules. But early last year he noticed that federal agencies were the site's biggest users. "It became clear that a really good place for our technology was helping government organizations share data in the interest of transparency," says Merritt, a Microsoft veteran who lives near Seattle. Today the 14-employee startup has 20 government clients, including Medicare and the City of Seattle, some paying more than $5,000 a month..."

- Government 2.0 threatened by filter comments
- By Josh Taylor, ZDNet Australia, May 25, 2010.

- What's missing from Gov 2.0?
- by Dustin Haisler. GovFresh, May 21, 2010. "What missing from Gov 2.0? The answer: Education. Like most agencies, we have done a significant amount of research at the City of Manor to determine how we could best use new technologies to interact and engage our citizens. In the process, we have discovered that there is one element that is quite often overlooked within the Gov 2.0 movement- education. Citizen and employee education is critical to the adoption of new technologies because the technology will not be used if it is misunderstood. So now the big question, how do you educate employees and citizens? ..."

- What does Government 2.0 look like?
- Mark Drapeau offers a visual breakdown of the Gov 2.0 components, by Mark Drapeau. O'Reilly Radar, May 24, 2010. "The most important thing I learned in grad school was very simple: "Draw the picture." (Thanks Tony.) By that my advisor meant that it's often hard or impossible to describe a complex system in words alone. And consequently, if you can't draw a picture of what you're trying to explain, you probably don't understand it. Drawing pictures of complex systems also helps everyone understand where the knowledge gaps are, or where unsolved problems are buried, or where contradictions exist. So, moving into the inaugural Gov 2.0 Expo week, as I reflect on where Government 2.0 is and where it's headed, I thought I would draw a picture of it. To some people Gov 2.0 is about technology, to some it's about culture change, to some it's still about taking risks and doing experiments, to some it's about policy, or collaboration, or openness. It's about all of those things. How do they come together into a complex system?..."
