Is Barack forcing future transparency?

Interesting how different the Obama administration is already in communicating to the public.  As you may know, Obama will be broadcasting a weekly address on you tube.  There is also the white house blog, www.recovery.gov, www.barackobama.com, and  (I won’t even go into what he had before he was president).

Today, I just read about the UK government “one site superstop for citizens”: Directgov.

Is this what we will now expect for ALL governments (Canadian government..cough…cough)?  Can a new US governement be elected and not follow what the Obama administration has started?

It will be interesting to see if this continues.
