An Unofficial Coast Guard Blog: Where do we need to take Enterprise Web 2.0 for the Coast Guard

    Mr. Stinson I think this needs to be reverse Engineered. The question in 2008 should be why shouldn't the Coast Guard use Web 2.0.

    Hi Peter,


    I'm working on a web app for the emergency services at present. It's designed to "help them save lives by making better decisions". It's a bottom up approach to allow teams coordinate themselves and then link their account to an organisation who can have a top down view on what's happening.



    I'd love to give you a beta invite and gather some feedback to mould it from the US. Mail me on robin@bytesurgery.com if you'd like to have this discussion.

    If the powers that be could just start with an internal wiki, that'd be a huge step forward. You'd see CG Central tossed by the wayside in 12 months or less. Don't get me wrong, I was involved with the CG Central startup and, considering what was there before, it was a huge step up. There may even be a continued use for it as an authoritative storage area for official documents, policy, etc. However what would be more useful to CG personnel is a system that's more flexible, has search that works like you expect, and can be organized organically based on what's useful and not what the organizational structure looks like.

    You mentioned the coast guard using zoomerang to survey folks. Besides secure surveys (SSL encrypted), are there any other special needs you can think of that would benefit the coast guard in regards to surveys.
    Full disclosure, I work for surveygizmo.com
