NASA - Successful in Many Spaces
July 19th, 2008 Posted in ObservationsNASA makes great strides in the social media space
Social Space - The Virtual Frontier
It has been a long (but productive) week where I was afforded a tremendous opportunity to improve my Web analytic skills. I had been looking forward to this training for awhile but it has left me with little capacity for any in depth posts on a Friday night. I did get turned on to a great site this evening (courtesy of Joe Flood) that I wanted to comment on - Open NASA. The site is
“a collaborative blog written by NASA employees across the agency, and occasional invited guests. We come from a perspective within NASA of transparency, accessibility, risk, honesty, merit, and participation.”
WOW! Great to see such transparency and a seemingly honest attempt to communicate and converse with the public. Along with the Mars Lander Twitter “experiment“, the other NASA blogs, and their extensive podcast collection, it looks as if NASA is becoming equally successful and inventive in the social media space as they are in outer space.
