  • U.S. Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra reports back in with some basic highlights from his swing to the West Coast last week. On a stop in Silicon Valley, Kundra sat down to brainstorm with "venture capitalists and technology innovators" from companies like Mint.com, Mozilla, and Facebook. What'd they come up with? If you have the vision of a bald eagle, you might be able to make out some details in the storyboard above.
  • Here's a map showing the real-time location of the 13 vehicles that the Census Bureau has out and about in the U.S., letting people know about the upcoming head count. Each van is doing its own tweeting from the road.
  • Also from the census folks: you can read the census form online, but you can't fill it out there. Yet.
  • "For someone who claims to hate the 'Democrat[sic]-media complex,' Breitbart sure knows how to work it."
  • TurboTax -- as in, the people who make that tax preparation software -- takes to Twitter to respond to those who had criticized them for supporting a certain political TV show. They tweet, "Thanks everyone for your feedback, & for reminding us of what we value. We’ve pulled advertising from the Glenn Beck show."
  • And Mr. Beck is also the target of a new campaign from the likes of MoveOn, Brave New Films, and the SEIU that makes use of that your-name-here technology to make fun of the Beck-board.
