Interesting representation of what is of concern to many Americans. One question: Why moderate the public’s input–did the White House ask that questions be limited questions on the budget, financial stability, green jobs and energy and jobs issue?

The reason I decided to moderate, as almost all successful forums/knowledge aggregators such as wikipedia do, is simply I felt there was too many off topic questions in some categories. I wanted to attempt to create some simple aggregation of what Americans were thinking on these various topics. And no I was not asked by anyone to moderate, post or anything else. There was just nothing on TV Saturday night and I didn’t feel like doing real work. Thanks for the comment.

Interesting data, Ken. I understand legalizing marijuana was perhaps the number one economic recovery question so I’m glad you removed those off topic questions.

Well I left it in under health which I think it has a legitimate place. I just was interested in what people were saying related to the topic of each category.

I love it. Wordles are my favorite play-yet not entirely play – thing, and I think this is a cool little demo of how govt mashups can be interesting and potentially quite useful.
