Mark Tapscott of the Washington Examiner writes:
"Analysis of the views and writings of Elena Kagan, President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, is beginning in earnest and the Sunlight Foundation has done something that should set a milestone in the confirmation proceedings of all major presidential nominations.
Sunlight's Tom Lee has put thousands of Kagan's emails from her time in government during the Clinton administration into a searchable database and posted it online so anybody and everybody can search it to their heart's delight. You can view the database here..."
You can search by keyword. Tom Lee of Sunlight Labs was inspired by a tweet late last week that asked the Sunlight Foundation to make the Kagan emails recently released by the Clinton library easier to read.
Determined, Tom worked on this challenge throughout the weekend, late at night until....he created Elena's Inbox.
It's as easy to search and navigate all the actual email messages, indexed like Gmail -- check it out for yourself: http://elenasinbox.com/
This just proves that when you release information in a way that can be remixed, the possibilities are endless.
