Live feeds from the US Governement
Posted by: Christine Bulson

govfresh.com is a commerical web site that was launched on May Day 2009. It aggregates all US Government news feeds through various social media outlets including Flickr, Twitter and YouTube.  The feeds include news from the White House and US departments, agencies and the military.  Congress and the Supreme Court are not official feeds since they come through Twitter and RSS respectively.

Browsing current feeds one finds Obama’s weekly address including the video on YouTube, testimony to a Senate committee from Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and information on the dredging of the Hudson River from a blog of EPA. 

Using this site will definitely result in information overload!
