NY.gov
If technology is to politics what peanut butter is to chocolate, then NY.gov is
more like a shot of chocolate Ex-Lax.
Oh grock ... how I hate that site!
There is nothing appealing about it.
- It has a harsh monochromatic palette.
- It's too much a link and B2B directory
- It really doesn't tell me anything about New York state on that front page.
I have been thinking long and hard about Eliot Spitzer's battle cries of reform for Albany. I take it to heart that he means serious business. The problem is, there is no visible measure of how this change is happening.
Spitzer and Bloomberg are kind of cut from the same political rug when it comes to how they are not implementing technology as an agent of practical government change. Because, honestly, we should not ask what is government. and why it is not working. We need to ask who is government and why aren't they effective.
