Online Database/Lists and Rankings: 50 Richest Members of Congress and a Few Databases

From the Capital Eye Blog:

Roll Call has released their annual 50 Richest Members of Congress list, finding that members returning from last year lost 10 percent of their wealth during 2008. Their top 50 are worth almost $171 million less than the previous batch. Despite a 27 percent decline, John Kerry (D-Mass.) came out on top by being worth at least $167 million, though most of that belongs to wife Theresa. Californians Darrell Issa (R) and Jane Harman (D) follow him immediately, with Issa's minimum net worth increasing by 2.5 percent and Harman's declining by more than half since 2007. The list also includes 11 freshman members. [Our emphasis] The Center [for Responsive Politics] will roll out our own comprehensive update to our database of Congressional personal finances in October.

In the meantime, explore the 2004 through 2007 filings in our fully search-able database, which includes the most popular assets and industries in which members invest, and the CRP's own list of the wealthiest and poorest members.

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?
