GovGab...your U.S. government blog

GovGab is an important tool for staying up to date on government legislation and resources. The blog posts vary by many different topics, with some of the newer ones focusing on keeping your food from spoiling during a power outage or discovering disabilityinfo.gov. The blog also breaks down into different categories so you can search for the things you are interested in.

The part of the blog I would like to focus on is one of their more recent posts. It is focused on privacy protection. The most important part of the posts points us to a list of privacy resources aimed at helping us maintain privacy. The resource page is set up with government and non-government sponsored websites that are all focused on helping us keep our privacy.

The resource page has just about any topic you could need to know about. It does have a lot of articles and resources for protecting children online, which is always a major concern. Other areas include financial information, identity theft protection, medical records privacy and Internet privacy. The resources site has a lot to offer and can keep you busy for a long time. Along with privacy resources, the resources site allows you to locate local officials, find information on a business, and get resources for teachers and consumers.

Ultimately the blog is a great source of information from our government. It does a great job of keeping the postings entertaining and not just focused on politics and policies.
