U.S. ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION
The Web site of the Energy Information Administration (www.eia.doe.gov) has been selected by Government Executive magazine as one of the sixteen best Federal Web sites for 1999. The announcement of the winners, published in GovExec.com ( www.govexec.com/bestfeds/99bestfeds.htm), highlighted that, "EIA is a tiny agency, so the comprehensiveness of its site - and its ease of navigation - amazed the judges. Everyone who works in the energy industry is well-served by this site." EIA also was commended for making full use of the power of e-mail by featuring e-mail notification lists for more than 30 different energy subjects. To make the selection of the best Federal sites, a pool of 120 nominees, submitted by Federal Webmasters, site customers, and other interested parties, was narrowed to 50 finalists. The judges' decisions were based on three criteria:
The judges for this third annual competition acknowledged they had a wide range of talent to choose from, and that a "pretty face and great links are no longer enough to qualify as a top Federal Web site. Technological know-how and customer service are what really counts." Other winners included Web sites from well-known agencies including the U.S Mint, the Census Bureau, Voice of America, and Small Business Administration.
