New Web Site Provides Live and Searchable Stream from U.S. House of Representatives

From a Blog Post:

Today, the Office of the Clerk beta launched HouseLive.gov—a streaming video feed of the House Floor:

The site also hosts searchable and downloadable video archives going back to the start of the 111th Congress (January 6, 2009) and has a highlighted archive for events like the State of the Union and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s address to Congress last year:

The video archives are also cross-referenced with the legislative floor proceeding summary so you can skip ahead in the video archive on any given day by clicking the part of the debate you are interested in. For example, this is last Wednesday’s debate of the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act—legislation that enhances health services for the 1.8 million women veterans, expands mental health services, and provides new support for families and others who care for disabled, ill, or injured veterans:

If you’re an RSS user, you can also subscribe to the audio or video feeds or create your own RSS feed by keyword.

Note: What we're unclear about is why is a completely new system is needed? C-SPAN airs and webcasts (and now makes searchable) gavel-to-gavel coverage of EVERY U.S. House and U.S. Senate session. If it had to be done, why didn't the House and C-SPAN partner on a site?

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


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?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
