I have talked about specific federal government blogs before: Gov Gab<\/a>, Dipnote<\/a> (State Dept.), and Evolution of Security<\/a> (Transportation Security Admin.), but the list of government blogs<\/a> is longer than the last time I checked, and now includes several military blogs, such as America’s Marines Blog<\/a>, The Obama White House blog<\/a>, and cultural blogs, such as the Smithsonian Institution blogs<\/a> (yep, there are several to choose from!).<\/p>\n
