E Social Media Pages

Because all eGov content is built upon RSS feeds, content can be easily aggregated together how you need it – as you need it – and be melded with content from other social media websites that are RSS-enabled.

The solution to the right was developed specifically for South Padre Island, Texas and features Twitter and Facebook feeds; video feeds from YouTube; and blog feeds from a 3rd-party blogging website. See it live at www.myspi.org/news.

Social Media One-Click Publishing

Today’s tech-savvy world has more and more media outlets for your staff to manage and you need to know the same message is distributed across all media modalities. Contributors can now update multiple media outlets such as iPhone & Android applications and social network sites with the simple click of a button; ensuring consistent content is then pushed out to all desired outlets.

A Blog is a way for the Mayor and Department Staff to communicate openly with the community. The eGov Blog option supports as many Blogs as are users for a cost that is NOT INCLUDED in the website re-design.
