Me on America Dot Gov
Download the most recent Adobe Flash Player here.
So... a couple of months ago some video guys hired by the state department came out to interview me in the land of farmers and such. I was nervous this was a ploy to send me to Getmo for all those mean things I say about the government. Turns out they wanted to talk tech. Which was cool. America.gov is designed to be a face to international youth to show them who we are.
I'm eager to see what the Clinton State Department will do to use this as a means to really develop grassroots democracy abroad and generate relationships with international youth. So many possibilities for this site in the new administration, particularly with HRC at the helm.
