Just to proove that not all governments on the planet are cluless about using the internet for the common good, this posting over on "Windley's Enterprise Computing Weblog" shows that even local leaders are getting in on the act.

Brian Sweeting runs the Spanish Fork City web portal. He announced today that RSS feeds are available for city news and upcoming events. This is a great application of XML to eGovernment. I don't know of another government using RSS in this way, but its surprising that they all aren't since its so easy to do.

They used an RSS creator from over on the stargeek website, and made the creation of these RSS feeds as simple as can be. It'd be nice to see more and more people out there using this format to share information like this - like maybe the Department of Homeland Security... *cough*
