Some time before, I needed to buy a good house for my firm but I didn't have enough money and could not buy anything. Thank heaven my dude suggested to try to get the mortgage loans at trustworthy bank. Hence, I did that and used to be satisfied with my secured loan.

Craig,

I'm glad you liked PointAbout in Apps for Democracy! (I'm a co-founder)

I made a 2 minute demo video of how we could do the same thing for CraigsList. What do you think? http://vimeo.com/2471989

Thanks for giving credit where it is due! DC has been doing a great job in making government accessible via the web. The dc.gov website is a terrific resource--one in which you can actually accomplish daily tasks. The next natural step is to figure out how to bring government services closer to its citizens. Slam dunk to the CTO Vivek Kundra and his team.

Thanks, Craig for highlighing! It gets tiresome hearing people outside of DC bemoaning the District government like we are a third world backwater. Innovation is alive and well in D.C.

Craig, I'm glad you liked our contest! If you or anyone else reading this is interested in learning more, the full app directory with 47 apps (most with links to the source code) is here:

Part of my comment got lost! Wanted to include that I love the iLive app! Maybe the iVote widget could live there?

How about a widget that lists state and national laws currently being written/considered/up for vote, based on your interests? (Options could include: Dogs, asthma, primary schools, homelessness, meat-packing, media, etc...).
