I became a fan of San Francisco on FB today

I became a fan of San Francisco on Facebook today. My son invited me to join FB several months ago and I have to admit it has been fun. I am careful though who I let friend me and also what I say knowing that nothing is private. But I have reconnected with some old high school friends that I never would have found without it. Also, I've been able to communicate with my son and his fiance in different ways. However, my daughter still remains appalled that I am a member.

But, if you are a member of FB you should check out the official site of the City and County of San Francisco. I find most government web sites difficult to penetrate or understand. The developers of these sites do not use language that is easily understood by a citizen and also have not thought about what a citizen might be looking for. That old auditing from a "citizen's point of view" thing. But SF's Facebook site was penetrable and actually interesting. It managed to talk about governmental things in a way that was interesting to a citizen.
