Conclusion
What is Social Media? Social media consists of a variety of tools
and technologies that includes: Collaborative projects (e.g., Wikipedia and wikispaces), Blogs (e.g., WordPress) and microblogs (e.g., Twitter), Content communities (e.g., YouTube), Social networking sites (e.g., Facebook), Virtual game worlds (e.g., World of Warcraft), Virtual social worlds (e.g., Second Life), and
All other Web 2.0 platforms that facilitate the creation & exchange of UGC.
Social Media Defined
“A Web 2.0 based technologies/tools— that allows the creation and exchange of user-generated contents while letting users establish one or more of these:
Identity Conversations Connectivity (i.e., presence) Relationships Reputation Groups, and Share contents.” (Khan, 2013, p.2)
What is Government 2.0?
Is driven by social media/Web 2.0
Also known as: Collaborative Government (McGuire, 2006), Do-it-yourself Government (Dunleavy &
Margetts, 2010), Government as a Platform (O'Reilly, 2010), Social Government (Khan, et al., 2012), or We-Government (Linders, 2012), among
others.

Research Question
How is Social Media Used in Public Sector?
How is Social Media Used in Public Sector?
Method (Inductive Approach) A Web survey of 200 govt. websites from 40 countries (20
Developed and 20 Developing), to look for: 1) SNS 2) multimedia sharing services 3) discussion forums , 4) blogging , 5) wikis , 6) rich site summery , and 7) social tagging services,
Coded either as “yes” or “no”.
How is Social Media Used in Public Sector?
Method (Inductive Approach) Also, reviewed 45 Web 2.0 initiatives from around the
world. Each initiative was assessed based on a coding
scheme covering four dimensions: 1) citizens’ engagement, 2) mass collaboration, 3) social transaction, and 4) Web 2.0 complexity
The variables were coded as: 1) low, 2) medium, and 3) high to access the four dimensions

The Big Picture
The social media pipe (i.e., social media tools/technologies) connects producer and consumer or prosumers (i.e., government agencies, citizens, and businesses) where the government services are co-produced that flows in both directions making government and citizen partners in the delivery of public services.
Figure 1. Conceptual Model of Social Media Use in Public Sector
Govt. 2.0 Utilization Model
Figure 2: Government 2.0 Utilization Model
1. Information Socialization (IS)
At this stage, public sector leverage social media as an informational and participatory channel to increase citizen’s awareness and enable them to monitor and participate in government activities.
Socialization of information is achieved in two ways:
Simple Information Socialization, and
Complex Information Socialization
Simple Information Socialization
Simple information socialization is achieved through merely incorporating social media tools in the existing government websites e.g., through incorporating comments
and discussions features, and/or through establishing dedicated
social media pages/accounts (e.g., Facebook fan page or Twitter account) to delivery day-to-day information/news to the citizens.
Complex Information Socialization
Complex information socialization requires establishing advance social media/web 2.0 based informational government portals for informational and participatory purposes, such as:
http://maplight.org/ http://www.data.gov/about, and http://blogs.justice.gov/main/.
Note
An important use of the socialization of information is in situation where the immediate delivery of information/news is crucial, such as: disseminating news and information about public
safety and in crisis management situations such as, weather, traffic, diseases, and nature or man-made disasters.
2. Mass Collaboration At this stage, public sector leverage
social media tools to poster mass social collaboration between government and citizens and cross agency collaboration.
Mass collaboration was instrumental in regulation, crowd sourcing, and law
enforcement. Mostly observed in Developed
countries
Example 1-Regulation
For example, the Peer-To-Patent (www.peertopatent.com) initiative by the Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of the United States is a good example of mass government and citizen social collaboration in reinforcing regulations.
Example 2-Law Enforcement
Another example is the Korean government’s smart phone apps developed to enable mass collaboration in reporting illegal car parking, waste disposal, energy misuse, and reporting other inappropriate behaviour.
Example 3-Croud Sourcing Similarly, a good
example of croudsourcing is the “apps for democracy” initiative: http://www.appsfordemocracy.org/application-directory/.
A U.S. government initiative to engage the public in developing new applications for democracy.
3. Social Transaction Public sector use (limitedly though)
social media tools to establish tangible online transactions with the citizens.
Example 1
Another example of using social media for service delivery is the “Fixmystreet” initiative: http://www.fixmystreet.com/)
Where citizens using an interactive portal report a problem related to their locality (e.g., fly tipping, broken paving slabs, or street lighting) which is then forwarded to the council to fix the problem.
Example 2
For example, the U.K. government use a Web 2.0 based website (www.gov.uk) to provide simple, one-stop access to government services online where citizens can access to public services such as:
tax, driving test, passport, births, deaths, marriages, and health care.
Example-3 The Korea NTS is
operating online "Year-end Tax Settlement Service“ at: www.yesone.go.kr
to enable taxpayers to gather all sorts of the receipts for income deduction online.
Govt. 2.0 Implementation Scenarios
Mainly three implementation scenarios were observed: Standalone Nested, and Hybrid Govt. 2.0
Standalone Govt. 2.0
In the standalone implementation scenarios, informational Government 2.0 (i.e., stage 1) can be implement directly under traditional government settings (i.e., paper based government).
Mostly, observed in developing countries (e.g., Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Fiji) where e-Government is not yet fully implemented
Paper-Based
Web 2.0 & Social Media Based
Standalone Govt. 2.0
Figure 3: standalone Government 2.0
Nested Govt. 2.0
Under this scenario, governments funnel existing e-Government infrastructure and capabilities to leverage social media tools in the day-to-day governance. Scenario 2 is the most likely scenario
where Government 2.0 is realized under the umbrella of e-government
Paper-Based
Static ICTs & Web 1.0 Based
Web 2.0 & Social Media Based
Nested Govt. 2.0
Figure 2: Nested Government 2.0
Nested Govt. 2.0 Observed in the developing and
transitional economies, such as: Estonia India Pakistan Kazakhstan Lithuania Poland South Africa, and Thailand
Hybrid govt. 2.0 Hybrid Government 2.0, from a conceptual
point of view, can be defined as, a flavor (or subset) of ICT based
government (e.g., e-Government & m-Government) that harness social media tool/technologies to establish an open, transparent, and participative government (see Figure 4).
Hybrid Govt.
Figure 4. Hybrid Government
Hybrid govt. 2.0 This type of government is observed in
advanced economies, such as: Denmark New Zealand South Korea the Netherlands the United Kingdom, and the United States
who have already made significant achievement in the e-Government
Govt. 2.0 Relationships
C2G Informational Relationship e.g., inform of feedback and exert opinion, or reporting
crimes and natural disasters using social media tools.
C2G Service Relationship the “Apps for America 2”: A U.S. government
initiative where citizens are invited to developed apps for the government
Other possible relationships B2G informational relationship B2G service relationship
Conclusion
Social media in public sector is more than just “likes”, “tweets”, and “shares”
Social media tools and channels useful to disseminate information, foster mass collaboration, enforce laws, and execute regulation.
SM use is mostly informational and limited transactional.
SM has great potential for DCs
Conclusion
Limitations we only focused on the use of and
opportunities related to social media studies are needed to access the risk and
reward of social media in public sector systematically
Stages based risks
Skills and capabilities needed to implement social media are not discussed

Is the Social Media and SNS same things?
Is the Social Media and SNS same things?
No All SNS (social networking site) are
social media, but not all social media are SNS.
Or All SNS are based on Web 2.0, but
not all Web 2.0 concepts are SNS
