Daily Clout joins Civ Works and Rolls-Out Newest Version Of Demcracy Tool BillCam

 
New York, NY — DailyClout, Inc. the company that creates tools and content for better, easier and more social engagement with democracy, and which created the legislative tracker BillCamtm – a has a new release to bring more powerful tools to American citizens in a time of unprecedented civic activity. BillCam is a platform that lets users search, share and interact with live State and Federal Legislation. Version 2.0 launched this week. BillCam has been used by news outlets totaling 160 million readers, including Forbes.com and HuffingtonPost.

The upgraded version, responding to customer demand, lets users have phone alerts for bills about issues important to them. It allows news sites and websites of elected officials and advocacy groups, to open custom live RSS feeds – a living portal of the legislation their constituents, investors or readers care about – right on their home pages. The 2.0 tool turns anyone anywhere who has a phone or internet access, into a campaigner, a lobbyist and a journalist.

DailyClout has entered into exciting collaborations to launch the upgrade. George Polisner, the Director of the civic engagement platform “civ.works”, has joined the project to lead product engineering. Arck Interactive of Portland, Oregon, is the lead development agency. Polisner and Wolf have also committed to future collaboration to make the most of their respective communities' and technologies' desire for scale, and positive impact.

Naomi Wolf, CEO of DailyClout, states: "Our community of 940,000 post reach on Facebook and the 200000 users of BillCam each quarter, as well as the ever-growing numbers of media outlets and elected officials that waited for the upgraded RSS feed, are incredibly well served by this impactful collaboration. George’s background in legislation, technology and media, along with his dedication to democracy and to tools that help people defend it, makes him the ideal technologist to oversee the expansion in BillCam's capabilities. And Paul Stewart and his team at Arck are accomplished developers who are bringing innovative energy and deep skills to this impactful build.”

Paul Stewart of Arck Interactive said, “It has been a both a pleasure and an honor to have the opportunity to work with such heroes of activism. The BillCam project offered us the rare and much sought-after combination of technological challenge and a sense of civic duty. I look forward to working with Naomi and George to support their efforts to establish more open, transparent and fair government for years to come.”

George Polisner, the Director of civ.works, says: "I’m delighted to support this important effort. Arck Interactive is the agency that transformed the civ.works platform from complex concept to production launch within a very compressed time frame –they have deep experience in the social media space. Working with DailyClout's BillCamtm is also very important to the growing civ.works community. Meaningful engagement around the legislative and policy process is of vital interest to our own subscriber base. It’s a pleasure to take this effort on while continuing to drive civ.works forward."
