Name Change: FirstGov Becomes USA.gov, Adds Real Time Federal Government Web Chat Service

From the page:

In January 2007, FirstGov.gov announced that it changed its name to USA.gov. We did it because you asked us to. Feedback from the public told us that we need a name that is easier to understand and remember.

More stats about Firstgov/USA.gov are available here.

New Features on USA.gov include:

+ Visitors to the United States Gateway

+ Web Chat

In addition to calling toll-free 1 (800) FED-INFO or sending an e-mail, people can now get help through live web chat Monday through Friday, noon to 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

The direct link to the Vivisimo/MSN Search powered FirstGovSearch.gov now redirects to USASearch.gov

Btw, the Spanish version of the site is at: GobiernoUSA.gov. Redirects from the old URL's to the new web sites in place for the time being.
