Clearing the Cache: The Social Media Explosion
- State Department Social Media Staffer Suffers Sting-Ray Sting While Surfing: We're only bringing you this news so Nancy will have something to josh Jared Cohen about while they're in Mexico this week.
- More seriously, here's more details on that cool State Department initiative putting up to $5 million behind innovative social networking projects in the Middle East, via NextGov's Gautham Naugesh.
- CNN Reports: Social Networking Sites Slanted by Class. You heard it here first.
- Of the 41 Senators co-sponsoring legislation requiring electronic filing of their campaign finance records, only 7 do so voluntary, Sunlight's Real Time investigations team** points out. The transparency stand-outs are Russ Feingold, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Bernie Sanders, Rick Lugar, Pat Leahy, and John Cornyn. Send them some love.
- The White House Transparently Shares Its Talking Points. Is this really what Obama meant by increasing the openness of government?
- Ben Smith catches something important missing from that new GOP.com site.
