Workshop Highlights
Social Media - Fed Style
Stacy and Roger Vaugh's  workshop "Social Media - Fed Style" provided some valuable information. 

Did you know that the government uses social media tools like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to connect with people and communicate official information.  Before you get social, you should make sure that it is a site managed by the Federal government as opposed to a private company.  To confirm if a social media site is managed by the U.S. Federal government, please paste its complete URL in: www.usa.gov
