Our Facebook fan base took off almost immediately upon introduction. Since then, many people have posted photos and stories about their visits to the Village. We have also seen a fair number of complaints that have been dealt with. Twitter has helped us realize problems before them grow out of hand.

Make sure you keep the content fresh, but don't over do it with too many posts. People will become annoyed if you are posting too frequently.

Perhaps we should break this into a few pages? Splitting this into Federal, State, Municipal and Unofficial might make sense initially. Going even further would be to start creating department specific pages on the federal side. I work for the Department of State and we have a very large number of social media programs, both internal and external (I could probably list one or two dozen with a lot of supporting material).

You're probably right. However, I want to try and keep this wiki very simple. Do you think you could list the initiatives at a very high-level and simply provide links to more info?
