What is Posterous and what is the purpose of this particular Posterous?
Posterous is a web publishing agent that ties some of the best elements of innovation into one site. The system utilizes some of the best elements in technological innovation, and for this reason, I could think of no better place than to launch my blog, thetechnologist.

The purpose of theTechnologist Posterous is to provide thoughtful literature and the opportunity to engage in debate about ideas, trends, and opportunities for technology in the public sector. While the technological revolution has produced many toys, gadgets, widgets, government is increasingly looking for technology that adds true value to citizens, and Web 2.0 is ushering in an age of pragmatism in government that we have not seen before. Both globally and in the U.S., technology has undoubtedly made access to government and to information easier. In my opinion though, the work has just begun and increasingly, there is room for a more direct style of democracy. As an example, you may look no further than your inbox where our new president is asking for your input on shaping this country.
