In April 2008 a list of cases was published on this community. These are more than 100 initiatives related to social computing in public services. This is a work in progress, useful to identify the key areas of impact and "what you can do" with social computing. But it is also a useful ressource in itself. This is not meant to be exhaustive, but continously updated.

The cases are now available via an online database at: http://webmonitor.ict.tno.nl/. Short descriptions of the cases are available under the statistics tab and at a later data overviews of descriptive stats will be shown here.

Please inform us about missing projects or incorrect information, by contacting TNO or replying to this post. When suggesting new projects, please specify the name, the URL, the description (including why it is about social computing) and the public service for which it is relevant.

The databse will also be used to map services that are not specifically related to the public domain.

Silvain, it would be very useful if you could add search capabilities, especially by country and knowledge area, so one could e.g. search for health related ones in Finland.

It would also useful if the DB itself would be exposed in some way so it could be mashed up with other repositories.

Some other places are also tracking social media efforts, such as:

http://newthinking.bearingpoint.com/2008/11/20/govtwit-directory/

Mainly focused in the US and English speaking countries for now, but quite useful.
Jose.

José, you're right. There is still a lot of functionality that could be added to the database. This year we will be working on providing more analysis of the data in the database and will consider the features you suggested.

The focus on US and english speaking initiatives is a bit of a problem and we will be dealing with that this year, so that there will be more balance in the data.

Thank you for your input.
