Saw this pop up in RSS this morning:

Is there an equivalent in NZ for aggregated "see what your elected officials
are tweeting" service?  At the least, I think journalists and government
watchdogs might find it useful.

There wasn't last year when i started planning building one.
If you build it, there are several places that will likely host it

I also wanted to measure engagement within the tweets -- how many are
having conversations versus just broadcasting stuff.

There is an open-source intiative by Expert Labs, called ThinkTank

Here's the link for the floxee product: http://floxee.com/

Looks like a commercial hosted service.

Would also be great if http://activitystrea.ms/ was picked up by Twitter.  I
would think that it would make things like ThinkTank and what Brenda proposes
easier to do.

Am I missing something? Isn't this as simple as creating a twitter list?

I think there is a trend to archive tweets as public information. At least
that's what ThinkTank does. Not sure about Floxee.
