To celebrate an exciting milestone — passing 1 million bills read on our website — I decided to celebrate by looking at what people are searching for. I took a look at the searches done in 2013 so far and made with word cloud using Wordle.net. There’s a few themes that jump out. Last year we had lots of searches for open government related topics, and they remain hot this year. Schools are still often searched for, but health seems to be replaced with telecommunication related topics, at least so far this year. As people start to set up their bill sheets, various business related topics are showing up as popular. And a little, but not a lot, of interest in energy and gun control items. What are you interested in? Is it represented in this graphic?
