    The Internet is a fantastic medium by which to provide information to the world. Sometimes far too much information. In this seminar you will learn best practices to effectively present information so that your site visitors can quickly and easily navigate to the content they need in an accessible and interactive way. With social networking sites becoming a well-known method for organizations to communicate in cutting-edge ways, governments are facing the daunting challenge of managing the two-way flow of information. This seminar takes a look at a few of the policies that local governments are implementing as they wade into the world of Gov 2.0 as well as the latest tools available to aggregate and organize collaborative traffic.
