Subject: Pew Internet report on Government Online

Dear Bill,

I'm just writing to let you know that we here at the Pew Internet Project
released a new report today on the state of Government Online. We thought
you might be interested and wanted to bring it to your attention; you can
view/download a copy at:

http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2010/Government-Online.aspx.

This report documents how government efforts to make their data available
are resonating with the public. Surprisingly large numbers of Americans are
going online for data about government spending and activities. Our national
survey finds that many online adults are engaging with government using
tools such as blogs and social networking sites, and are participating in
the online debate around government policies and issues. It also finds that
the use of social media tools by government is especially appreciated by
groups such as African-Americans and Hispanics. Please contact me directly
if you have any questions or comments. Thank you,
