Michigan's Web site wins top award
Cool. I've always found it very easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing, too.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- The official Web site of Michigan state government has been named the best state government Web portal in the country by the California-based Center for Digital Government.

The Center for Digital Government is recognized as a leading national research and advisory institute on information technology, according to the Michigan Department of Information Technology, which oversees state Web sites and state services and products offered over the Web.

"We set a goal to make state government more accessible for citizens and friendlier for businesses, and this award shows the great progress we have made," Gov. Jennifer Granholm said Tuesday in a news release.

The state's Web site, http://www.michigan.gov, offers access to government agencies and provides more than 200 interactive online services. It includes podcasts, foreign language translations and ways to get information through wireless portable devices.

Check out the Michigan Photo Gallery. All I need is this camera and I could do that too!

Kidding- but it would be nice. Gotta get back to my hobbies and get the politicians out of my head every once in awhile.
