The State Department Should be Using Zotero

Make another mark for wasted money and effort by the government. Zotero is the best tool for organizing literature reviews available. The State Department should be using it. Unfortunately, groupthink and momentum seems to have more weight in decisions than actual facts.

As stated in this article, the State department currently is not using Firefox, which means they are not using Zotero. This has probably been going on for a significant amount of time, and affects many government agencies and big businesses. Who knows how much time and money has been wasted due to this policy.

The State department doesn't use Firefox because it is open source and super vulnerable. I'm fairly sure they can use Chrome, which is pretty competitive with FF

That was very informative and very entertaining for me.
