GovTech Announces Top State, County, City Portals
The winners are Utah, Fairfax County, VA and Virginia Beach, VA respectively. What’s interesting is the properties the winners share:
- access to social media (Twitter is hot)
- access to services (paying for things, reporting potholes)
- use of constituent feedback to organize websites
- maps were not mentioned in the write up of any of the three, though the Utah portal uses some type of GeoIP to determine the location of visitors and offer relevant services
There is no information in the article announcing the winners on how the publication selected them (and some runners up), nor what criteria were used, nor if the jurisdictions were nominated in some way.
