REGULATIONS.GOV TAKES CAPITOL HILL TO THE LIVING ROOM

(PC World) On Thursday, the Office of Management and Budget launched Regulations.gov, the latest feature of the Bush Administration's Electronic Government Act. A one-stop online shop, the portal enables interested citizens to research and comment on federal government activities.
Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project, said, "It's not nirvana, but it's an enormous step in the right direction. The distance between Washington and the rest of the country has been shrinking for almost two centuries, and this shrinks it almost to zero."
Regulations.gov garnered 68,000 hits in its first 6 hours.
