is your government information glass half full or...

half empty? Well, if you are using Google to search specific government agency websites, you'd be looking at a pretty half empty glass! According to this article, only about half of the information on an agency's website will be revealed by a specific domain search. As a remedy, it seems, some agencies are building site maps o be compatible with the Google algorhythm. So, depending on how many agencies comply, this may end up being a case of the government going to where the people are instead of expecting the people to be able to figure it out.
