Michael Hardner Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 With LobbyLens... (this one IS going on my blog, B_C) Try LobbyLens This was the winner of the Aussie Govt 2.0 mashup contest. It's basically an animated network diagram that shows the links betweeen lobbying and government. It's kind of unweildy and hard to use, but a huge leap forward from the cute little applications that government tends to allow the people to get its hands on.

Remiel Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Are you ready to play video games that will help you become an informed voter ? If I must be addicted to video games, I suppose I could at least play useful ones, hehehe... Though this is thread drift, I suppose, I have long thought that there is a great untapped potential for education in video games. Quote

And the other prong of this tool is the fact that it puts government on the spot for their relationships to donors. I'd like to see one that does the same somehow with budgets. Like a flash app that shows the money spent by government agencies as a series of waterfalls, and you have to 'Frogger' over them...
