The amazing folks at the Center for Responsive Politics' opensecrets.org have released (under a Creative Commons license) 200 million records to help the world understand how influence in Washington works. This is enormously good news.

Even better is that today they were nominated for a Webby. Here's where you can vote to thank them in the best possible way.

Dear Sir,

I've heard many of your talks, and for the last 2 hours or so, I've been repeatedly listening to one of your very interesting speeches you delivered at the Web 2.0 summit in 2008. It is titled 'Trust and Independence'.

I've been watching the video of the talk and am very curious to know what software you used to create your presentation.


Regards
