Nexttown lets you see in seconds who represents you and what they are doing for your community. It also makes it easy to explore the city's political landscape. We use NYS GIS data to match addresses up with electoral and organizational districts, and we pull information about current representation from our database. Armed with that, we can tap the web for up-to-the-minute information about your elected officials' work. Right now, Nexttown pulls information from the the websites of political institutions, elected officials, news sources, blogs, and conversations happening realtime on Twitter, but that's just a start.<
