Social Media policies and government

There is an article in the Vancouver Sun about the Government of Canada's Social Media Policy.

The new policy was released Tuesday by @TonyclementPC - better known as the President of the Treasury Board, or perhaps you know him as the former Industry Minister.

The document is titled "Guideline for External Use of Web 2.0".

It is really too bad that any organization's policy has to say anything more than:

• be truthful


• be respectful


• be nice

There is an excellent database of Social Media Policies if you are interested in making comparisons (Hat tip to Library Boy).
