Hey, we need some cool GovTrack apparel, right? Design a GovTrack t-shirt or send me a funny expression related to GovTrack to put on a t-shirt, and if I get some good responses I’ll pick a winner and send back a $100 gift certificate to somewhere. Email your submissions to operations@govtrack.us.

Our first tweet, and a preview of our latest experiment
GovTrack has taken the plunge to Twitter. I’ll be tweeting from time to time as @govtrack. Also, I’ve put up recommended hashtags on the pages for bills so we can more easily track the chatter on legislation happening in the twitterverse. (It’s in the blue box on the right side.)
You might have noticed the last blog post was a bit out of the ordinary here. It wasn’t written by me, and it’s coverage of a recent congressional hearing. I’m starting up a new experiment, a citizen reporters team to cover the goings on in congress that the mainstream press doesn’t. Stay tuned!
