New Jason Deans Profiles
Discovered and setup a few new personal landing pages last evening. One of the more interesting sites I found was businesscard2.com which was previously known as card.ly. This site offers personal landing pages but also has a linkedin like model to network and promote your business and professional services. I created the Jason Deans businesscard2 profile last evening to explore this site a bit more.

GOP readies major push for Internet transparency
Republicans are planning to use the Internet as a sledgehammer to clobber the secretive way in which Congress has traditionally done business.
Through a set of almost-radical changes that most Americans would probably view as common sense, the incoming GOP majority is set to approve rules saying that legislation must be posted online three days before a vote and that committee amendments will also be publicly posted.
Politicians' formal votes in committees will also be disclosed, and audio and video recordings will be permanently posted "in a manner that is easily accessible to the public," according to the rules that are scheduled for a vote tomorrow. Witness testimony and amendments must be posted within 24 hours of a hearing.
In two more nods to technology and openness, electronic devices will now be allowed on the House floor (as long as they don't impair "decorum"), and the opening session of the new Congress will be live-streamed on Facebook at noon ET tomorrow.
These rules, championed by incoming House majority leader Eric Cantor and hinted at through a Twitter post last month by soon-to-be House Speaker John Boehner, are part of the Republicans' efforts to reshape the legislative process. Other portions say all legislation must include statements specifying "the power or powers granted to Congress in the Constitution to enact the bill," and measures normally may not be considered if they "have the net effect of increasing mandatory spending."
"Taken together, these reforms will allow more time for quality consideration while increasing the House's efficiency and guaranteeing the public's right to know," Cantor said in a letter (PDF) to his colleagues.
What Cantor didn't say--and perhaps didn't need to say--is that these pro-transparency reforms are strikingly similar to what President Obama promised as a candidate in 2008. At the time, Obama pledged that he would "not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House Web site for five days."
