White House new media staffer Stanton brings Web skills to State Department

Katie Stanton, who works on new media at the White House, is bringing her Web skills to the State Department. And how did the former Google manager announce the move? Why, over Twitter, of course. Macon Phillips, the White House director of new media, wrote in an e-mail last week that Stanton would begin her new job in January. Her last day at the White House was Friday.
