My first episode on the new blog is here. Take a tour of what’s hot in online government, be prepared for cheese, and let me know what you’d like me to cover next time! I need questions for the “Ask GovGirl” segment too
These videos have a long way to go, and they can only get better from here. Stay tuned to future episodes for great special guest stars. Thanks for watching and hope to see you back here soon!







I need a teleprompter! I had to wing it. Therefore a correction – Moby (in case you were thinking of the singer) did not publish the recent QR Code report, it was Mobio. Oops
I’ve received a lot of great feedback! I’ll be changing up the style to shorten the vids to 1-3 minutes, and focus on one topic each. That way, we can have an archive of topic areas here on the blog, so you can quickly scan for what you’re interested in.
I pronounced Manor incorrectly in the video – I’m told it’s actually pronounced Mai-ner! I live in Nevada though, so I’m used to mispronunciations (the first ‘a’ in Nevada sounds like the word ‘at’, not ‘ahh’).

I like this from @kristyfifelski (aka GovGirl) Kinda cheesy/cringey but also made me chuckle, esp the bit on QR codes http://bit.ly/giqV7D
Hi Kristy, I enjoyed your first podcast! With all of the new Gov 2.0 innovation, how do you select what you report? Do you consider yourself a visionary sharing your vision of the future in Government, a reporter who attends the events that most of us can’t make it to, or a local activist bringing local government directly to your community?
Hey, Christopher. Thanks for your message. I’m taking input for future GovGirl videos – would love to hear any ideas. As far as my role, I see myself as just a gal with a passion for government/citizen connection, who is trying to tap into the popular video medium for conveying these thoughts.
I just think you love yourself too much..
The site does give that feel, with my mug plastered all over, doesn’t it? I’m sick of my face already. Luckily I’m lining up some guest bloggers to change it up a bit very soon
Kristy, you are the hottest thing in online government
Loved the video but I gotta say, the music is annoying. My suggestion, get rid of it, or turn it way down. I’d rather listen to you!
I couldn’t agree with you more! I stopped including music by the third video I put together. Very distracting! Thanks for your comment.
Loved the video, especially your response to your email.
You seem to have the right mix of the ability to laugh at yourself and the ability to make a point.
Good luck with the whole shebang!
