Bumped into a nice guy from Directgov (‘website of the UK government’) at the launch of Social Media Week in London last night, talking about plans to make it more relevant to its users.

Fortunately I tracked down the past event with a link to the full set of Andrew’s presentation slides (zip file) for your consideration.
