The Rise of Gov 2.0 -- All ABout Data, Mobile and GPS

Mobile Phone + GPS + Gov't Data = Gov 2.0

Welcome to a movement the tech crowd is calling "Gov 2.0" -- where mobile technology and GPS apps are helping give citizens like Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.org, more of a say in how their local tax money is spent. It's public service for the digital age...The aim is to let citizens report problems to their governments more easily and accurately; and to put public information, which otherwise may be buried in file cabinets and Excel files, at the fingertips of taxpayers.
