This post by Tom Mighell over at Inter Alia reminded me to pass along GovTrack (www.govtrack.us), a new site that will provide you email notification of up-to-the-minute information about Congress.
GovTrack differentiates itself from other sites devoted to Congress in that it sends users e-mail updates anytime there is activity on legislation that they want to monitor. GovTrack lets users track activity of specific legislators. It can also send updates via RSS, or Real Simple Syndication, which is the most efficient way to organize and review such updates, as well as blog updates. The site collects information from Thomas (thomas.loc.gov), which is the Library of Congress’s legislation tracking site, as well as the websites for the House of Representatives and the Senate. Check it out.
