The GSA wants to know if citizens want to get their federal information via YouTube, Facebook and other social media. Given that, as I blogged, YouTube is close to being GSA-legal for agencies to use, it would seem that a survey is sort of moot — shouldn’t GSA just give agencies the means to get to citizens and just get out of the way?

Gov 2.0 Workaround of the Week: AdvantagePlus
Jon Bearscove, a GSA Federal Acquisition Service contracting specialiston the Environmental and Logworld Schedule programs, has designed this Google-based search engine to do a better job at finding GSA-scheduled labor categories and services that GSA Advantage’s own search tool.
Using Google’s custom search engine, it can pick through GSA Advantage’s content–text, PDFs, etc,–without the navigational headaches of the Advantage interface. “Wasn’t producing the results I needed to help do my job, so I build a better search engine on my free time at home over a beer,” he told me over Twitter DM.
It also loads a lot faster.
