New: GPO Creates Its First Ever On-Line Guide To Members Of Congress

GPO Creates Its First Ever On-Line Guide To Members Of Congress

From the announcement:

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) creates a one stop website with easy searchable information on all Members of Congress. A simple click will bring the user to a picture and biography of any current member of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. This information previously was available in separate databases, but now can be accessed from one central point. GPO worked closely with the Joint Committee on Printing (JCP), Clerk of the House and Secretary of Senate on the design and usability of this website.

"This is great news for the public and Congress," said Public Printer Robert C. Tapella. "This directory is an example of how GPO is using
new technology and publishing trends in creating a first class, easy to navigate website. I want to thank our colleagues in Congress, employees in GPO's Digital Media, Creative Services and Information, Technology and Security departments for all of their hard work in completing this project."

All House Members' offices will have access to submit updates at any time. Updates for Members of the Senate will be funneled through one
main administrative person. To ensure secure access, registration and log-in is required. Security checks are in place to identify that the
person signing in is a valid user.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
