  A web2.0 website people can log in to track bills they subscribe to. Being able to watch and monitor its progress as it goes through the process (e.g. the house, the senate, president's desk, etc) and being able to comment on it as it changes. Subscribing to bills and your local rep to see what they are up to, to make it easy to keep in touch with what is going on. This type of website could have a lot of value as features are added. Could be modelled after the facebook model. This would also have the benefit of bringing people and grassroots organizations together on similar issues.

  I like the new website (whitehouse.gov) but I think if people want to get more involved it should include more information on how government works. Things like:

  - include more material on the us constitution, bill of rights, etc. use web pages, movies and flash animations.

  - basic function of the judicial, executive and legislative branches. give examples of how people in these branches get their job done (e.g. how the court systems work, how a bill gets passed, what happens if a bill gets vetoed, what is filibustering, etc.)

  - educate us on how all the departments, military, and three branches interact and work together to form a functioning government

  - list goes on and on (e.g. what happens in the event of a natural disaster, what happens if we get attacked, etc.)

  Through the use of technology like Web 2.0, flash animations, movies, interviews it could be turned into a very educational and interesting enterprise. It would draw more people to whitehouse.gov and hopefully to being more participative in our government.
