Disclosure Blog
It looks like every federal department is getting into the blog act -- now, the Federal Election Commission has debuted its "Disclosure Data Weblog." According to its first post, the blog will highlight new disclosure features and Web site tools, as well as answers to common questions about the FEC's site.
It's a bit on the technical side. But if, like me, you're the type of political junkie who loves to use spare moments to peruse the FEC's searchable map, or to scan campaign finance forms, this site could become a must-click. Despite its streamlined and somewhat intimidating look, the FEC's Web site is often praised for its efficiency and thoroughness. Let's hope their experiment with user feedback increases this crucial government disclosure process.

ABOUT THIS BLOG
Government Executive Staff Correspondent Alyssa Rosenberg takes a look at news affecting the management and operations of the massive federal bureaucracy.
Could FEDBLOG just put a link to each of these federal blogs on FEDBLOG? Also perhaps an asterick for which ones are truly interactive, post all comments without censorship, and truly address problems, issues and policies and choices facing a department or agency's program, functions, or activities!
