With the ever increasing popularity of Web 2.0 technologies and social media sites, organizations must continue to evolve their web sites, which is why WebDrive has launched the latest version of WebDrive.ca. The site sports an even more robust set of social media tools and Web 2.0 applications such as Twitter and RSS feeds, social network site plug-ins and sharing functionality. “The goal of the site is to make learning about, and interacting with, WebDrive easier for clients and colleagues” said company president, Jennifer Savage. “We’ve also introduced a more comprehensive set of collaboration tools in the Client Area of the site so that clients can work more easily with our team and with one another.” The company plans to further extend the functionality offered to clients through an exhaustive widget and mash-up strategy which will be launched before the end of the year.

WebDrive Canada Inc. announced the launch of www.Gov20.ca today. The wiki is dedicated to the subject of Web 2.0 for government (Government 2.0). “Our clients were struggling” said Jennifer Savage, President of WebDrive. “They knew that Government 2.0 needed to be an essential part of their web evolution strategies, but they lacked a source that would allow them to expand their knowledge and learn more about what other departments and agencies were doing.” “That’s why we created Gov20.ca as a wiki, so that government employees could come in and add resources, share stories and document best practices.” The wiki offers succinct information on each type of Web 2.0 technology, information on government policies and guidelines that govern Government 2.0 use, statistics on Canadian Web 2.0 usage and Web 2.0 case studies within government. “Our clients asked for it and we are very excited to be able to offer such a comprehensive area on the subject of Government 2.0″ said Jennifer.
