Web Critique 9

Website Name:  www.usa.gov
Operated By:   Federal Citizen Information Center, a division of U.S. General Services Administration’s Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies
Funded By: Annual appropriation from U.S. Congress
USA.gov is a website dedicated to making it easy for citizens at any time to access any type of information they could ever want (and much that they don’t even know exists!).
This website is truly an impressive accumulation of information from the U.S. government. An incredibly complete collection of information, it really astounded me when I explored the website. It is honestly difficult to describe the website simply because it includes so much information. However the website is describable in a few categories: Services and Information, Government Agencies and Elected Officials, Free Publications, Blog, and easy contact-email, phone, facebook, twitter, etc. One more thing to note is that the website directly links easily to whichever government website includes the information you’re searching for. Lastly, in light of our study this week about bureaucracy, this website underscores how truly humongous our government really is. On that note, when you look at the A-Z Index of Government Agencies, it really makes this apparent. In conclusion, this is a new bookmark on my internet browser and it should be on yours too, because it is really a great resource for any American!
