"Recent Web 2.0 Developments for Monitoring Congress"

Posted by Joe Hodnicki: "The 111th Congress of the United States reconvenes today. In her LLRX article, The Government Domain: Tracking Congress 2.0, Peggy Garvin highlights some Web 2.0 resources to monitor legislation. The article features GovTrack.us, OpenCongress.org and two recently launched THOMAS feeds for House floor action and Senate floor action joining.
