“Ed Summers, an open source Web developer, recently saw a friend tweet about Parliament WikiEdits, a UK Twitter ‘bot’ that watched for anonymous Wikipedia edits coming from within the British Parliament’s internal networks. Summers was immediately inspired to do the same thing for the US Congress. ‘The simplicity of combining Wikipedia and Twitter in this way immediately struck me as a potentially useful transparency tool,’ Summers wrote in his personal blog. The stream for the bot, @congressedits, went live a day later, and it now provides real-time tweets when anonymous edits of Wikipedia pages are made.”
