USA.gov's new blog is almost as fun as watching 1970s PSAs on YouTube.
Sixty-six percent of internet users have visited a local, state, or federal government website and 39% of internet users read blogs, but how many visit dot-gov blogs?
USA.gov recently launched a blog called Gov Gab that is almost as fun as, and much more informative than, watching old “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute” public service announcements on YouTube.
