Leverage existing Gov 2.0 private/public partnerships to cheaply create Government social nets.
Many Government Agencies are already adopting Gov 2.0 technology through experimentation and implementation. Government can cheaply access privately created platforms and technology to rapidly create, deploy and maintain social networks that are both inward and outward facing. This can be a process leading to shortening the contracting cycle, and freeing up resources to adopt already created and customizable platforms and technology designed to help the people inside Government operate best.

As the Founder of both You2Gov and Gov20LA, it has become clear to me that the Agencies that "experiment" and are forced, often by budget cuts to try something new discover that there is already a wide universe of Gov 2.0 technology, platforms and applications from which to dive in to the new paradigm with. It seems that the most cost effective and time sensitive way to implement change is through leverage of what is already out there in the public domain.
