On January 5th I quickly wrote a short post about how then President-Elect Barack Obama uses blist. That post was published just a few minutes after the CHANGE.GOV site first went live with a blist widget. In that post I described why publishing data in a blist widget greatly improves upon a basic HTML table. A few days ago I wrote a post, first published on TechCrunch then later on The Washington Post, about how the Obama Administration uses “web 2.0″ software from innovative companies including Google, Facebook, Salesforce.com, twitter and blist to promote The White House’s top three priorities - communication, transparency and participation. The politically astute team at ReadWriteWeb has also been a leader in reporting this transformation taking place in politics, fueled by the Obama team’s adoption of web technology - read: President Elect Obama’s FireWire Chats: Transparency Redefined? and Obama’s Social Media Advantage.

While the previous post was meant to provide a quick sketch of the creative ways that President Obama’s team is using technology to meet all three priorities, I want to go back and dive more deeply into the topic of transparency, an area where blist can continue to add more value to government and the Obama administration.
