i offer to the readers of memestreams a question: which one of these search results is more meaningful to you?

transparencydata.com analysis of robert parsons

opensecrets.com analysis of robert parsons

there are a couple of things i should point out.

* when searching opensecrets you *must* do it LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME (also note that caps are important)

* transparencydata.com returns results faster

i don't mean to beat up on OS or CRP, but seriously stop trying to sell me data and focus on making your data more useable. oh wait! the sunlightlabs already did it for ya!

sometimes i love my job

why i'm never using opensecrets again
