			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We usually focus on how individual media properties perform, but it’s important to understand how different types of properties work together to to communicate information.&#160; The CDC’s online communications approach the Swine (H1N1) flu is a good case study of aligning different properties in an information ecosystem (that’s right, a good example of organization by government).&#160; </p>
<p>What the CDC shows is an ecosystem made up of a hub (CDC), multimedia (YouTube) and distribution (Twitter, email etc), all optimized to provide users what they need in a search.&#160; </p>
<ol>
<li>The Main site &#8211; <a title="http://emergency.cdc.gov/" href="http://emergency.cdc.gov/">http://emergency.cdc.gov/</a> </li>
<li>Swine (H1N1) specific site &#8211; Swine Flu &#8211; <a title="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/" href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/">http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/</a> </li>
<li>Example of collateral &#8211; <a title="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/recommendations.htm" href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/recommendations.htm">http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/recommendations.htm</a> </li>
<li>Multimedia on YouTube &#8211; <a title="http://www.youtube.com/user/CDCStreamingHealth" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/CDCStreamingHealth">http://www.youtube.com/user/CDCStreamingHealth</a> </li>
<li>Distribution/Alerts via Twitter (as well as email, RSS and related tools) &#8211; <a title="http://twitter.com/CDCemergency" href="http://twitter.com/CDCemergency">http://twitter.com/CDCemergency</a> </li>
</ol>
<p align="left">The result is all key properties showing up on page 1 of a Google search for the swine H1N1 flu.&#160; Different search strings do get different results but the CDC results are generally at the top or referred to in other articles at the top.</p>
<p align="left">The search string: <a title="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&amp;rlz=1I7GGLJ_en&amp;q=cdc+swine+flu+h1n1+flu" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&amp;rlz=1I7GGLJ_en&amp;q=cdc+swine+flu+h1n1+flu">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&amp;rlz=1I7GGLJ_en&amp;q=cdc+swine+flu+h1n1+flu</a></p>
