Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown unveiled her new blog, along with a reconstructed official agency webpage this morning. This effort will mark the first state agency attempt to have a extensive social media presence, a progressive and innovative step for Oregon.
“I am extremely excited to launch this blog as part of our Social Media initiative,”
Brown said in the first posting on the blog. “I believe that social networking and media present a tremendous opportunity for government and the public to have a truly interactive discussion about the state and how it is run.”
The blog will provide updates on the agency’s four divisions, an area for public comments and feedback, as well as links to state twitter and facebook accounts.
The Secretary of State website, while still considered a work in progress, will also host updated links to social media portals.
