Legistalker – Stalk Your Lawmakers
Legistalker combs a variety of news, social networking, and government sites to pool information about members of the U.S. Congress. Searching for a Senator or Representative will return mentions of that individual in the media, Twitter updates, YouTube videos, Capitol Words—a nifty weighted cloud of the words they’ve used in interviews and floor speeches—and their voting record which includes what they’ve introduced and votes yes or no on.
If you’re tracking multiple people, say all the Senators and Representatives from your state, you can add them to your Watch List and from there in you’ll be able to keep an eye on all the updates from all the people on your Watch List in one location. Currently you need to visit the site itself to access your Watch List, hopefully a future feature will be a personalized RSS feed. Legistalker is free and requires no signup.
