I have been doing a lot of research recently around “Web 2.0″ technologies or the “Read-Write Web” and thought that some of what I had learned and some of the information I had come across might be useful, interesting or helpful to others. My main area of Interest is in helping to improve the online services provided by Government organisations in Ireland to the residents of Ireland. An aspiration towards what is coming to be termed “Government 2.0″. I hope this website will serve as a reference and an aid for IT and Internet professionals working in government organisations in Ireland, though hopefully everyone might find some of the content interesting or useful. This is not a government website nor an official site of any nature it is merely the collected research and musings of someone working in IT for a government organisation. Opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

Just found your blog, and look forward to reading it. I thought you and your readers would be interested in a speech http://tinyurl.com/ypnoma I gave in November on what I called “transparent government” (I think I prefer Jon Udell’s term, “public data,” but really haven’t found anything yet that describes it perfectly) — the concept of government agencies releasing data bases on a real-time basis and encouraging the public to use Google mashups and a variety of other data visualization techniques to improve the quality of public policy debate (by increasing the chance it will be fact-based), analyzing program delivery, and finding possible causality, etc.
