Reviewing the PAC Name Generator Project
My beloved Political Action Committee Name Generator project at work rounded out a successful weekend and became the most trafficked project Sunlight has ever had…so far. Here is a roundup of the media outlets that have covered it…so far:
- The Washington Post: Ezra Klein
- Mother Jones (my favorite write-up)
- NPR: It’s All Politics
- BoingBoing (most traffic)
- The Columbia Journalism Review
- The Monkey Cage
- GOOD Magazine
- DCist
- The Open Secrets’ Blog
- The People for the American Way Blog (most irony)
The project also garnered some nice attention on social networks. Here are a few selections from Twitter:
