If your government agency is on Pinterest, you’ll want to start checking out how popular your pins are with a free analytics tool just released by the company. You need to have a business account, so go to business.pinterest.com to set it up, or convert your existing personal account to a business account.
Other trending topics in this GovGirl video include the state of New York’s launch of their new open data site, Open.NY.gov; and Albuquerque's Miguel Navrot, from the city's Web team, told me about their first-ever apps contest. Big bucks went to the winners – they split a $30,000 pot!
Finally, I chat in this video about the “GovGirl Roadshow” and encourage you to sign up for a digital government event near you.
