Steve, you have to speak to others outside government. Here's a list of acknowledgments for USA.gov and its search: 1. Won Federal Computer Week 2006 Pioneer Award for “Innovative use of technology in a government program.” 2. Highlighted in The Economist as “A multiple award winner and probably the best single e-government website in the world.” 3. “That’s what I call tax dollars well spent” (Editor-in-Chief, GCN) 4. “Most effective federal website” – Brookings Institution 07-08 5. Inspired the design of similar egovernment search engines in Norway, New Zealand, National Library of Medicine, etc. Steve writes: “No one in my circle of contacts in the US government gets jazzed about Microsoft Vivisimo.”
