OSTP Launches New Web Site

The Office of Science and Technology Policy on Wednesday announced the launch of its redesigned Web portal, which updates the old site's features and incorporates a few new ones.

Aside from an all-new aesthetic, which closely matches other White House blogs, OSTP's site now has a center column devoted to news items of interest. The Tweetoid of the Day, a science- or tech-based fact pulled from Twitter, also will appear on the main page.

OSTP still will maintain its blog, albeit on a new platform, along with pages dedicated to press, R&D budgets, the National Science and Technology Council and the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

The move from old to new isn't quite complete, according to Wednesday's blog post. While the snow-related shutdown slows progress, OSTP will be accepting feedback and document requests.
