Alpha version of our mutual fund vote database
July 24, 2007
We’re happy to be unveiling an alpha version of our mutual fund vote database, which you can use to see how several dozen funds voted their shares in corporate meetings from 2003 to 2006. We’re already busy working on the next set of features — data from more funds, information about upcoming votes, new search options, and more user content — but we hope this rough draft conveys what we’re trying to do, and perhaps inspires some thoughts about what new features we should be working on.
What we really need at this point is feedback. What do you want to do with this data, and how can we help? Our goal is to provide the information necessary for a viable shareholder democracy, and we’d love to hear your ideas about how to make that happen.

How about a boycott widget? Bloggers and sites take up issues then everytime a fund votes against Human Rights, the planet, animal testing etc. The fund knows it will have instant exposure infront of everyone that has posted the widget.
ALso maybe some links to places to pressure the fund…where should people call? Where is the fund discussed online etc.
