Obama To Agencies: Optimize Web Content For Mobile

CWmike writes "President Barack Obama has ordered all major government agencies to make two key services available on mobile phones within a year, in an effort to embrace a growing trend toward Web surfing on mobile devices. Obama, in a directive issued Wednesday, also ordered federal agencies to create websites to report on their mobile progress. The websites are due within 90 days. Innovators in the private sector and the government have used the Internet and powerful computers to improve customer service, but 'it is time for the federal government to do more,' Obama said in the memo. 'For far too long, the American people have been forced to navigate a labyrinth of information across different government programs in order to find the services they need.'"

90 days is a bit long for this kind of thing, but it might be short enough that the job can get done.

90 days? Are you insane???

90 days is barely enough time to gather up some people to form a committee to pick the board to evaluate the letter head logo design contractor bids (ensuring , of course...that these contract bids being considered are ONLY from minority, female owned companies)....

What are you smoking??? Care must be done to do this correctly....the Federal Way!!
