Chief Information Officer for U.S. DOT Does Not Think That Accurate Is Important In List of

When CIO Daniel Mintz created a list of bullet points on how to communicate online he called it Gov 2.0. He gave several presentations on the bullet points and at one of the presentations he was asked to change one point to “Exchange accurate information…” his reply was “the resulting bullet would be a lie” (Mintz 2007). Later in the paper he goes to compare his Gov 2.0 to Wikipedia because it is user driven. What Mintz has done here is show several excuses why people working for him should not be careful to only include accurate data. I want to pull data from the DOT website, I would want to be sure it is accurate and not someone’s best effort. There are many tools available to ensure that pages on their website are up to date and there is no reason that a government agency should be keeping out of date material or have invalid material that people can get a hold of. People should be able to use the site and expect the data to be accurate.
