An Update to the Demo
December 3rd, 2008Posted by: J.W. Crump Posted in Blogs
After some feedback from users and colleagues, we have decided to update some of the tracking in EnergyWatch, our free demo of ImpactWatch. The great thing about IW is that it can be modified quickly to track new attributes, key messages, people, etc.
Originally, the demo was only automatically tracking five major politicians. We have now expanded to include several new ‘stakeholders’ in the energy world. Below is a list of the now-included stakeholders introduced in the demo:
- John Muir – a Sierra Club-related environmentalist and activist
- Dr. David Suzuki – best known as host of the popular and long-running CBC Television science magazine, The Nature of Things, seen in syndication in over 40 nations
- Bill Richardson – Governor of New Mexico and newly named Secretary of Commerce; former Secretary of Energy
- Mary Nichols – a prominent environmental advisor; a telling article about her can be found here.
- Terry Tamminen – another popular environmental advisor and lecturer; his site can be found here.
- Dirk Kempthorne – the current Secretary of the Interior
- Arnold Schwarzenegger – there’s no denying that California does a lot of energy innovation, and this governor always seems to be in the thick of it
With his update, EnergyWatch becomes even more expansive as a demo. Any IW can grow and update as the client sees fit, and this is just one example of how easily it can be done.
