Wow, I love new openness of our new administration. Mentioned in the President’s press address yesterday, there are a suite of tracking tools available at the new White House website.

You can check up on up-to-date issues via the blog, get details about the cabinet, and check out a whole range of pertinent info regarding the budget and recovery phases. There’s an interactive timeline of how the recovery project is progressing, and a complete readable breakdown of the president’s new budget (its even organized by department!). Also new is a spot where you can vote on the relevance of the next questions asked at the upcoming town hall discussion.

Very “web 2.0”. This definitely looks like the start of a true 21st century president.
