Government research tool (http://opengov.media.mit.edu/)

MIT just launched a tool that citizens can use to research people in the US government.

Haven't had time to investigate the tool, but from the article, it may turn out to be useful.:cool:

On the other hand, it may end up being polluted with a lot of junk.

bump.

This is a potentially powerful tool for the citizenry, though it requires participation and contribution from the American people.

OK, it's doomed.:D
