i just tried and it is wonderful!

The only issue i can think of, it the look, feel and findability.  
General or novice web users may not find this service and may not be
able to relate to the tool because of how it looks.  It is perfect for
most of us on this list but perhaps not for the general public.  I can
see this tool being very powerful particularly if there are elections
coming up.

I will send it around to some advocacy groups who may also find it useful.

Cheers
