(I also added a comment to the post basically saying what a great educational tool --- getting students within Georgia to learn more about their state government via different means than reading about it or hearing a lecture on the subject... Students might be more interested to learn about what the state gov is doing via Facebook, Flickr or Twitter than other old-fashioned traditional means.) I wonder if other state governments are taking advantage of using social media/web 2.0. It would be interesting to find out!
