online government

My computer seems to be cooperating once more. Let's hope it holds up. Here's a quick dump of all the tabs that have collected in my browser since I left for Berkeley (the panel was great, btw - you can read a rundown here. We will have video in a week or two):

• In Newsweek, Ben Adler looks at Obama's first 100 days and finds that the President has kept many promises to young voters.
• At Tech President, Micah Sifry posts Putting Citizens First - a white paper on transforming online government.
• Over at Tech Pres sister blog PDF, Sifry has an interview with Vivek Kundra and Macon Phillips on changing online government.
• Steven Benen says that the Obama Admin wants to accomplish student lending reform via the reconciliation process.
• Matt Bai doesn't understand the value of Twitter.
• Jose Antonio Vargas writes at The Washington Post that the online lessons - and staffers - of the Obama campaign are creeping into some of this year's down-ballot campaigns.
• Nancy Scola notes that the White House videos are starting to attract more eyeballs.
• NTEN has a new report on how nonprofits are using social media.
