State of Michigan Web 2.0 Standards Update CMA User Group Meeting April 15, 2009 Michelle Stiffler eMichigan Web Development
Current SOM social media sites • Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc., • Used to post events, jobs, news, videos, podcasts • Post non-SOM articles • Promote a “Cause” (example: CTF) • Citizen input and stories
Why do we need standards? • Users need to know they are viewing an “official” SOM page • Consistency, extending Michigan.gov brand • Maintain professional appearance on the Web • Protect image of state employees • Reduce occurrence of offensive comments, images, or advertising • Ensure only SOM content is posted to SOM pages • Include contact information and links back to Michigan.gov sites
Examples of need for standards • Profile image attire not professional • Link to profile image of employee in bikini • Groups using MDOT in name, not official pages • Member photo shows MSU student chugging beer • Advertising in context (not Facebook ad) • Inappropriate comments by employees • Linking to LSJ.com (gasp!) • Overuse of tinyurl.com
Standard image for Facebook • Currently in development, but not a major enhancement • Profile image is 200 px wide • Cause page image is 240 px wide • A simple Michigan.gov branding will be applied to profile images • Example of possible standard image:
Where we are now • Working with MDIT OES to integrate Web 2.0 into the AUP • Close to approving standard Michigan.gov branding for profile images • Preparing social media “Best Practices” to be included in the State of Michigan Look and Feel Standards for e-Government Applications document
