Scout has been <a href="http://chromp.com/33110840208556" rel="nofollow">called</a> "an alert system for things you care about in state and national government" and <a href="http://www.cjr.org/the_kicker/sunlights_scout_is_a_promising.php" rel="nofollow">hailed as</a> a "promising new tool."  Join me here Thursday, August 16 at 1:30 PM Eastern / 10:30 AM Pacific to talk with Scout developer <a href="http://www.journalismaccelerator.com/members/konklone/" rel="nofollow">Eric Mill</a> about what he envisioned, how Scout is being used so far, and where he wants to take it next.

We welcome input from users or potential users. If you've tried Scout, what's your verdict? What would you change or add? If you cover a state legislature or Congress and haven't tried it yet, have a look and see what you think. Or tell us your wish list for tracking legislation and Eric will tell you if Scout fulfills it! Drop by during the live chat window or add your comments later and we'll still get a response.

See you then!
