Once in a while I like to analyze various search trends taking place in my industry. I do this primarily to see which terms are sticking and to gauge demand for specific business offerings.

Guideline for External Use of Web 2.0 in the Government of Canada

After years of hearing  “it’ll be released next week” promises, I finally got to witness the official announcement this morning from Minister Tony Clement: The Treasury Board Secretariat’s Guideline for External Use of Web 2.0  is now public.

They also help provide valuable information to the public, stakeholders, and act as tools for consultations.
