10 Gov 2.0 Blogs to Track
Just last summer, "Gov 2.0" was anything but a buzzword, and social media was just coming into its own in the mainstream. This post is to clue you in to some of the great public and private sector bloggers who've helped blaze the trail. You probably know most of them, but maybe you'll find one or two new. In no particular order:
Maxine Teller - MiXT Media
Ari Herzog - AriWriter
Steve Radick - Social Media Strategery
Jefferey Levy - Government 2.0 Beta
Mark Drapeau - Cheeky Fresh
Gwynne Kostin - On Dot-Gov
Andrew Kryzmarzick - Generation Shift
Nick Charney - CPSRenewal
Craig Newmark - CNewmark
Marylin Clark - Hello Happy Pitbulls (a special treat for dog lovers)
Who would you nominate? Who have I missed?

I would offer two additional blogs that I read.
Andrea DiMaio from Gartner has been on my "must read" list. He talks about e-gov/gov 2.0 from an international standpoint with plenty of thinking on what is going on in the U.S. Check out http://blogs.gartner.com/andrea_dimaio/
Candi On Content is written by retired HUD web manager, Candi Harrison. Her insiders knowledge and perch outside puts her in a great position to critique and cajole us to the next level. Read her at http://candioncontent.blogspot.com/
Steven Clift's e-democracy project blog: http://blog.e-democracy.org/ , where he chronicles his more than a decade's worth of experience with citizen-up networking in the US and UK;
Worldblu http://www.worldblu.com/nowblu , who come at edemocracy issues from the business side - for profit enterprises that already face market discipline and are democratizing themselves because it's both right, *and* profitable - a lot to learn here;
The Open Budgets blog http://internationalbudget.wordpress.com , because participatory budgeting is a concrete, gritty, and successful example, from across the world, of citizens engaged in government.
