Another week, another Gov 2.0 Week in Review. If you have news and tips about the government 2.0 space, please let me know at alex@oreilly.com or @digiphile on Twitter.
Crisis Response 2.0
I was excited to be on a panel on “Crisis Response 2.0″ at the Open Government and Innovations Conference here in DC, where we talked about how CrisisCommmons was helping to respond to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. CNN ran a story on how CrisisCommons was developing an oil spill reporting iPhone app being developed and crowdsourcing oil mapping with Ushahidi. Volunteers are sending texts, tweets and email to OilSpill.LABucketBrigade.org where they’re added to a database of oil spill-related incidents.
