All I’ve been hearing about recently is Pinterest. The pinboard styled start-up that allows you to create image-based collections of things that matter to you. A great and simple concept, and having been a member for over a month now I can honestly say I love it.

Pinterest has found its way into the hearts and browsers of millions of people. But why? Well, in the past couple of years there’s been a growing need to share things. I say need; it’s more a “want” from people. We don’t need to share any of this information, but we’re compelled to.

We are very excited to announce that applications for the Digital Mission to Washington, DC taking place 11th - 15th July 2011 are now open.    

This trip is ideal for companies interested in digital government and social innovation who are looking to expand into the US market either directly or through partners.

Alongside a hectic programme of events there will be a chance for companies to interact with the US Government and key players within the digital space.

We have been working hard with our friends at digital government consultancy FutureGov, community builder BrightLemon and digital media consultant Kathryn Corrick in order to bring you this mission that helps bridge the gap between government and digital.
