NASA + GSFC + Facebook = Spacebook
Social media tools slow to take root, Federal Computer Week
“Everybody’s talking about Web 2.0, but only some are using it. Although agencies are adopting collaborative and social-networking tools to work smarter and faster, they are doing so only in pockets. However, some of those pockets are deep. This spring, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center will launch a social-networking Web site, named Spacebook, for employees. The site will mimic Facebook and feature individuals’ profiles, expertise and personal interests, said Linda Cureton, chief information officer at Goddard.”
Editor’s note: Something called “Spacebook” already exists.
