It seems that the even United States Government Departments are joining the web 2.0 bandwagon. This is a new and innovative development, and demonstrates the growing impact of social networking in various realms of life, from business to politics to social relationships.

The Energy Department had recently taken the lead into web 2.0 by increasing its internet presence. As part of its social networking campaign, it launched a Twitter account, Facebook page and even a blog. These are web 2.0 features are in addition to the Energy Departments You Tube channel and Flickr page which they had already established before.

These social networking efforts are an attempt by the Department to increase its transparency and to connect more closely with American citizens, to demonstrate to them the work that the Energy Department does on a daily basis.
