State of California Twitter Directory

The State of California has posted a comprehensive Twitter directory listing state agencies and officials (include both federal officials and local officials) that are using Twitter.

Twitter

I’m not aware of any other state that has provided such a comprehensive listing of public sector agencies or officials using Twitter. There are some notable Twitter / Gov 2.0 rick stars in this list, including Governor Schwarzenegger (with almost a 1/4 million followers), and Congressman Mike Honda, who recently announced a project to “crowdsource” the rediesign of his official site.

I guess the old saying “…as California goes, so goes the nation…” applies here. Hey, other 49 states – more of this please!
