Chris Brogan inspired me to think about online communities and “ platform fatigue.” In a post aimed at public relations pros, he says: “We want to connect on maybe two or three networks tops. One or two of these will remain the “commons” services like Facebook or Twitter. The rest of people’s interactions are going to fall into smaller communities, often private or self-selected in some way.”.

Every year around this time, I make a list of 10 goals I want to accomplish by 11:59 pm eastern time on December 31. Like everyone else, I want to drop a few pounds, exercise more and spend quality time with family and friends. However this year, I decided not to make a list. Why? Because I only have one goal: to be me, only better. . What does better mean to me?

I have selected 63 people on GovLoop you should know. All are engaged to some extent on GovLoop, the Social Network for Government. They are from both the public and private sectors, on the state, local, and federal levels. Most are in the United States but not all. Some were chosen for this list due solely to what they give to the blogs, forums, and/or groups on GovLoop, while for others it was because of a combination of their role and their contributions to that community.

First, they have to be active on Twitter. I defined this as they had to have tweeted in December.
