YouTube has joined with Congress to release two new Web pages, one for the House and one for the Senate, where every lawmaker will be able to create their own video channel. Some members of Congress already have channels, but this portal may encourage more to do the same. The site can also be a way to promote members' agendas and a way for citizens to interact with Congress. The House and Senate pages will highlight different members and host events, such as community chats. Each page also has a Google Map allowing users to click on a state to see a listing of lawmakers with YouTube accounts. The New York Times covers the development here.
