U.S. Government: White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Releases New/Improved Web Site

From the Site:

A few words about our new site: We still have our trusty blog, our main mode of communicating with the public, where you will find frequent updates on OSTP and related activities (it’s like an OSTP diary). We also still have our Pressroom, where we will keep you more formally apprised of news, and dedicated pages focused on the Nation’s R&D Budgets as well as the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and the National Science and Technology Council. But we have a few new items as well, including a front-page center column that will focus on various topics of interest—such as NASA’s new plan for exploration and the recently released FY2011 R&D Budget, currently featured—to be updated periodically.

With regard to the blog, many of you know that we have long used a WordPress-based public comment function to get input from you on a range of issues, most recently via our Public Access Policy Forum. That comment functionality is just now being built into the Drupal platform upon which our new blog is built. Please stay tuned for that function’s relaunch. In the meantime, you can reach us via the Contact Us page.

Finally, we have moved our Tweetoid of the Day (#TOTD on Twitter) to the front of our main site; it’s not just on our blog anymore. Please continue to send us ideas for our TOTD via Twitter—anything science-y and tech-y including staggering statistics, interesting news items, or fun facts.

Access OSTP Web Site or http://ostp.gov.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
