Not sure if this has been posted - a new browser plugin called Greenhouse. [View all]

Created by a 16 year old, it uses data from OpenSecrets.org. When you read an article, etc, and a politician's name is mentioned, it will highlight the name. Hover over the highlighted name and it will reveal where they get their money from.
I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds very interesting.

EDITED TO ADD: It works, but unfortunately it doesn't play nice with Firefox (see comments below). Haven't tried it on another browser.
