- HP and AMD Research Shows Concerns about Security, Technology Budgets Are Main Barrier to "Gov 2.0"
- Study reveals education needed to best use new government tools, PALO ALTO, Calif., Hewlett-Packard Development Company, April 24, 2012. "According to a recent survey commissioned by HP and AMD, security concerns are still the top barrier to the adoption of Gov 2.0 tools, with 40 percent of government IT professionals listing security as a concern. Gov 2.0, which involves the use of technology to make government an open platform that allows for greater innovation, also is being hampered by lack of budget (20 percent) and lack of technical expertise and ability (14 percent). The survey, conducted by Wakefield Research,(1) showed that government IT professionals think Gov 2.0 initiatives are beneficial to the public, but 79 percent believe that the public does not understand how to use Gov 2.0 tools to their advantage..."

- Frequently Asked Questions about Gov 2.0: How do we convince risk-averse management to say yes to social media initiatives?
- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's professional blog - eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Tuesday, April 17, 2012. "... This challenge with senior management is, in my opinion, partially generational, partially cultural, partially based on priorities and partially rooted in lack of knowledge. Senior managers have many priorities to consider and often are focused on "managing inwards" rather than "managing outwards", with their priorities being serving a Minister, managing staff and services delivered by an agency and managing the compliance and governance burdens that fall on public agencies..."

- Frequently Asked Questions for Gov 2.0: How do we manage the resourcing requirements of engaging online?
- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's professional blog - eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Wednesday, April 18, 2012. "Another question I get asked regularly is "How do we manage the resourcing requirements of engaging online?" This is an interesting 'length of string' question as the resourcing requirements of social media vary dramatically depending on why and how an organisation chooses to use social media. Generally the more engaging your participation the higher the resourcing needs - although even social media listening can soak up resources rapidly. I consider social media participation as a 'ladder of effort'..."

- Govt failing on Government 2.0: Turnbull
- By Suzanne Tindal, ZDNet Australia, March 21, 2012. "Malcolm Turnbull has taken the government to task over its commitment to ensure open government, accusing it of failing to implement the recommendations laid out by Nicolas Gruen in his 2009 Government 2.0 Taskforce report. Turnbull called the government's commitment to open government half hearted, despite the government's declaration of open government in 2010. Policies are not being formed with citizens in the front of mind, according to Turnbull, who accused the government of either not consulting with the public, or, when it does consult, of ignoring public submissions and viewing them as the work of the uneducated..."

- The paranoia that will 'shut' government
- By Steve Davies - OzLoop. PS News, Edition Number 255. Updated to Wednesday, 14 March 2012. "Public servants must let go of old, pointless fears if they are to engage the community.... This reflects the risk-averse culture that the APS's taskforce, and other reports, have highlighted. The predominant approach to open government and APS reform is gradual and measured, administered heavily by corporate areas. While there is nothing wrong with this approach to gradual change, societal change is not gradual. How often do agencies put changes in place only to find they are ineffective, because the world has changed, and the changes no longer meet people's needs? The same problem bedevils public servants' efforts to innovate. Most agencies have so many rules and cautions about the internal use of social media it is little wonder that staff are uncertain about engaging online. Despite so many rules, they remain unclear about which conversations are allowed and which aren't..."

- Let's start delivering information to the right person at the right time – that's the value of open gov
- by Luke Fretwell. GovFresh, February 29, 2012. "... I think part of the issue here is that funders are almost naturally agenda-driven, so many of their activities tend to address the entrenched interests of the foundation, rather than the frustrations of governments or citizens. Stumbling upon some random app that fulfills a niche is no different than finding some Web site the government created that fulfills that same niche. Transferring the same old problem to a new platform isn’t going to get the job done..."

- How do you measure the value of Gov 2.0?
- by Luke Fretwell. GovFresh, February 25, 2012. "... So much of the hype surrounding Gov 2.0 achievements is relegated to applications (or 'crapplications' as one prominent U.S. city CIO once said to me) and hackathons that fail to truly address bigger accomplishments that could be made with less hype..."

- What If Government Were More Like an iPod?
- Dilbert's Scott Adams on bringing democracy out of the age of wax candles and into the age of touch screens, By Scott Adams. The Wall Street Journal, November 5, 2011. "If Congress had a 9% approval rating while George Washington was still alive, he would have shoved his wooden dentures in his mouth, assembled a militia and marched on the Capitol. The nation's founders weren't big fans of dysfunctional governments. I'll bet we could solve our energy problem by connecting a generator to John Adams's corpse, which I assume is spinning in its grave..."

- Gov 2.0: Now the real work begins
- By Alice Lipowicz. Federal Computer Week, January 23, 2012. "The go-go days of 'Gov 2.0' social media and mobile applications likely are over. That's not to say that Gov 2.0 is passé. It's just that we are in transition from a period of rapid adoption and experimentation into a time of more discerning judgments about value and efficiency. That applies to familiar social formats and also the newer formats including Google Plus and Facebook Timeline..."
