When the blogging platform Tumblr was added to apps.gov, a number of agencies set up sites of their own, including the General Services Administration, State Department, Peace Corps and National Archives.

This Thursday, November 17 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EST, Web Manager University will host a free webinar, Tumblr – How Blogs Connect You with Citizens, to highlight case studies and best practices. Presenters include Measured Voice President Jed Sundwall, Peace Corps Online Content & Social Media Maven Amber Smigiel and Tumblr Director/Media Evangelist Mark Coatney.
