Keeping Current With Political Streams

Keeping up to date on the presidental election means keeping track of lots of information from lots of different sources. Things can change in a matter of minutes.

With stories bouncing from the blogosphere into the mainstream media and back again, it's become more important to keep track of both.  Rather than going from site to site--or even reading multiple RSS feeds--wouldn't it just be easier to see all the latest news at a glance?  That's what Political Streams does.  It mines information from all the blogs and Web sites out there, and all on one screen, lets you see the relative popularity of any given story, whether it's trending up or down, and tracks the number of mentions of the people and places mentioned in the story.  See for yourself.
