Here’s an excellent site on the use of weblogs in government. A quote:
If you as a government information provider think that visitors will continue flocking to your sites through traditional surfing, following links, or saving bookmarks…. think again.
One-to-many information management is a big problem in a world in which email utterly wrests control from the user, is bogged down with spam, and breaks when the recipient changes jobs or companies. Yet the information has to get out there, particularly when the world changes quickly and the stakes of missing a message are high. We have the same kinds of problems broadcasting information in a sensible way at eBay.
Question for the multitudes: Would you like to see information on the eBay Developer Program (or other useful resoures such as the eBay Announcement Board) in the form of an RSS-capable weblog? Would it make your life simpler? If so, I’d love to hear from you.

Rocking, thanks for the feedback, Sue. I am working with another member of my team to make this happen.
