Vivisimo (http://vivisimo.com) announced on March 14 the launch of Gov.Clusty.com (http://gov.clusty.com), a service built to search and cluster results from a variety of government info sources such as FirstGov, political news from Reuters, the Associated Press and CNN, and several think tanks including RAND, The Brookings Institution and The Cato Institute. In addition, the engine can search a single document, such as the 2006 Federal Budget or the 9-11 Commission report.
The new government search, accessible via a link on the main Clusty site (www.clusty.com) or directly through its own URL, is powered by Vivisimo’s clustering technology and is designed to help searchers easily navigate the massive amounts of government-related information generated on a daily basis. What is more, Gov.Clusty.com allows searchers to enter their state initials, postal abbreviation or zip code and easily find information about the state’s senators and representatives, including their email addresses and voting records.
