It was a great week in Ottawa at the Social Media for Government conference put on by the Advanced Learning Institute. Met a lot of great people and learned quite a bit. You’d be amazed by how some government departments are using social media to Plant Seeds online.

Here are just a few great examples to check out:

• Royal Ontario Museum is offering podcasts, a YouTube channel and more.

• The Commonwealth of Virginia is using widgets to inform, connect with and feed Virginians

• The U.S. Department of Defence is has offers a Bloggers Roundatable, YouTube channel, Podcasts and more.

There are more examples, of course, let me know and I’ll post more – or plant your own in the comments.

Also, for those who attended my workshop, or wanted to but couldn’t, I’ve posted my slidedeck on SlideShare and embedded it here and to the right. You can download it from Slideshare or let me know and I’ll send you the PDF.

Plus, for fun, check out this video about Twitter. I couldn’t resist, since there was so much Twitter talk at the conference.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
