Federal Goverment Employs Web 2.0 as Open Dialog with America
It began as a way for the Obama administration to make a new level of transparency. A way to provide American citizens with information and allow them to truly participate in the government deliberations like never before. Today Vivek Kundra applies Social Media and other technology to make and preserve an open dialog with America with the feeling that citizens are connected like never before and have the hope to affect change.

As far as Vivek Kundra is concerned, fulfilling Information Technology initiatives that are advanced and economical is priority. It is his desire that these initiatives can aid in getting more information to the American public, as well as encourage and further good communication via technological advances between Federal government authorities. The technological system he is currently supervising for the United States government will utilize open source coding and cloud computing, as well as many other insightful methods that will, hopefully, enable the U.S. government to accomplish the Web 2.0 goals that currently seem trying but not impossible.
Vivek Kundra employs his IT expertise to supervise Federal government funded technology investments. Before being established the first Federal CIO of the Federal Government back in March 2009, Vivek Kundra was CTO for Washington D.C. and Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Technology for Virginia. He is well on the way to modifying the national, and possibly worldwide, view of how government collaborates with its citizens.
