I have been discussing for some time the need to get more of our elected officials to interact and offer constituent services online. Toward that end, I have added a new feature to The World Around You, a page called Alabama Officials & Social Media. I intend for it to be a one-stop shop to find out where you can find your elected representatives online, or not, as the case may be. I hope you will express your appreciation to your representatives that have made themselves accessible online and perhaps question those who have not.
I chose to only include information regarding Facebook, Twitter and Politics4All.com on the inline documents on the page itself. There is also a link to the master spreadsheets that will allow you to see information about e-mail, personal websites as well as the phone numbers and office numbers for legislators. I will say that there are some representatives who have gone the personal website/e-mail route for consitutuent communication and are doing it well, but have not yet integrated that activity with a Facebook or Twitter page, which would not be hard to do.
I hope that by tracking this information on a consistent basis all Alabama citizens will be able to be more fully engaged with their representatives in government.
As always, your thoughts and reactions are appreciated below.

Using firefox 3.5 under OpenBSD, word wrapping don’t seem quite right, text overlaps the side bar and becomes unreadable.
Otherwise, a good effort and thanks for the work.

Thanks Walt, I’m not 100% satisfied with how the page is showing on either Firefox or IE at the moment, but the spreadsheets are good in either one.

The google spreadsheets work fine. Over at the parlor, working on getting all the announced candidates websites listed and maybe a link to the their FEC/FCPA report archives. Problem is that many of the press releases published by the papers don’t include a url which could be a Hanlon’s Razor problem.
