Stopping innovation evaporation
-
Part of the solution might be to build an online unmanned air system user community. This has been done elsewhere with some success. In 2007, Dell launched the IdeaStorm Web site, which it described as “our way of building an online community that brings all of us closer to the creative side of technology by allowing you to share ideas and collaborate with one another.” This Web 2.0-based community quickly came alive with users helping users, just for the “psychic income” of sharing their knowledge. In my own firm, we’ve embraced this approach through a suite of Web 2.0 tools called Hello.bah.com, consisting of wikis, blogs, discussion forums and tag clouds serving user-defined communities.

Marine Corps Gen. James E. Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, embraced the value of Web 2.0 in his former role as commander of Strategic Command. He sent a note to his noncommissioned officers, saying: “The metric is what the person has to contribute, not the person’s rank, age, or level of experience. If they have the answer, I want the answer. When I post a question on my blog, I expect the person with the answer to post back. I do not expect the person with the answer to run it through you, your [officer in charge], the branch chief, the exec, the Division Chief and then get the garbled answer back before he or she posts it for me.”

Data Catalog - District of Columbia
The District of Columbia is providing RSS feeds as well as mashups of "city operational data," such as crime reports, building permits, purchase orders, and much more. This seems like a great example of using new media/web 2.0 technologies to increase government transparency.
-
For years the District of Columbia has provided public access to city operational data through the Internet. Now the District provides real-time data from multiple agencies to citizens, a catalyst ensuring agencies operate as more responsive, better performing organizations. Use the data catalog below to subscribe to a live data feed in Atom format and access data in XML, Text/CSV, KML or ESRI Shapefile formats.
DARPA BAA News Feed Being Removed
DARPA is taking a step backwards with this move. Just as most other government websites are beginning to take advantage of RSS feeds and Web 2.0 technologies, DARPA has removed their RSS feeds for Broad Agency Announcements, instead reverting to Web 1.0-style email alerts. Newsflash: People don't want to get more email! People want to use email for...well...MAIL! They want to receive news via news feeds in a feed reader.
-
Beginning Saturday, November 15, there will no longer be a DARPA BAA
Announcements news feed. -
In lieu of a DARPA feed, you can register with FedBizOpps to receive
notifications when they post new DARPA-related content. Once you
have registered and logged in, you can set up a “Saved Search” that
will periodically review all newly posted information and send an
email notification.
