On Monday, the White House announced a new organization designed to help spruce up government websites and (it hopes) prevent another HealthCare.gov debacle. Called the U.S. Digital Service, it will be tasked with modernizing the government's digital presence and revamping how the feds provide information and online services in ways that compare favorably with Amazon or Facebook.

White House launches ‘U.S. Digital Service,’ with HealthCare.gov fixer at the helm
“Housing this in the White House gives it a bit of cachet that serving in an agency might lack, but the USDS still is missing the advantage of serving a truly centralized government that its cousin office, Britain’s Government Digital Service, enjoys. “
I smell some serious ulterior motives...
Well maybe they can buy some better hard drives next time....the last crop really sucked...LMAO!
These people will just delete negative posts en masse.
Anyone who posts negatively on that website is an idiot, as you’re just giving the Keynesian Kenyan and his goosestepping gangsters your IP address. Criticizing Osamacare runs the risk of meeting an untimely death or asset forfeiture.
big government just keeps on getting bigger.
Because $1 billion doesn’t buy you as good of a website as you might think.
A new agency with Congressional involvement, cool.
“A new agency with Congressional involvement, cool.”
There is NO congressional involvement — where did you get that idea?
They say it’s run out of the White House.
” Digital Services — which will be housed inside the Office of Management and Budget — will be focused on providing consultation.”
Stupid phone. There was supposed to be a “no” before the Congressional involvement.
Can they save emails?
I'm laughing my head off about this announcement. The White House, specifically the president Obummer, can't manage people so he creates a department to manage people. The answer is not bigger government, it's giving clear directions, making sure orders are carried out, and holding people responsible for mistakes and firing them. Obama is an idiot who can't do anything right, so he creates a new department? The answer is to fire Obama!
Are you kidding?? That stuff only works in sci-fi movies!!!
“Can they save emails?”
My question too!
Typical Obama MO - spend LOTS, accomplish little. If the software folks did their job on the front end, you wouldn’t need this money burner on the back end. It’s not SWAT (although they’ll probably end up weaponized with guns and ammo like the other departments that have no need of weapons), it’s a human water pistol to put out forest fires.
Do they get paramilitary SWAT Teams like all the other agencies?
Digital dogs everywhere terrified.
Their job won't be to prevent the train wreck, it's be to keep people from calling it a train wreck.
Coming soon, advanced classes in email destruction.
