U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Goes Live with Redesigned Web Site, Includes Strong Presence on Social Networks

From a Blog Post:

The Department of Justice launches Justice.gov today in an effort to increase openness and transparency in government. Utilizing a variety of online tools, we will be able to share news and information, not just on our own web site, but through popular social networks Twitter***, YouTube and MySpace and Facebook. The Justice presence on these social networks will allow Americans to interact with the Department in entirely new ways.

The new Justice.gov has incorporated more multimedia than ever before. You’ll find a photo gallery and video library that will be regularly updated with new content from across the Department of Justice. And of course, The Justice Blog will be a hub of information for the Department.

*** Note the "Verified Account" Check Mark at the Top of the Twitter Page. What's a Twitter Verified Account?

Access the Redesigned U.S. Department of Justice Web Site

A Spanish language version of the site is also available.

In addition to the links to Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook here are some of the other features you'll find on the site.

+ Several RSS Feeds

+ E-Mail Updates

+ Search the Site (It appears they are using the Google Search Appliance)

+ An A-Z Index of the Site

+ A Collection of Reports and Publications

+ Grant Information

Finally (we'll end it here), notice the "Justice Action Center" box that appears on the right side of many Justice.gov pages. In a single location you can find links to:

++Report a Crime
++Get a Job
++ Locate a Prison, Inmate, or Sex Offender
++ Apply for a Grant
++ Submit a Complaint
++ Report Waste, Fraud, Abuse or Misconduct
++ Find Sales of Seized Property
++ Find Help and Information for Crime Victims
++ Register, Apply for Permits, or Request Records
++ Identify Our Most Wanted Fugitives
++ Find a Form
++ Report and Identify Missing Persons
++ Contact the Justice Department
