National Journal Group has launched 3121, a first-of-its-kind professional network designed specifically for congressional members and staff. The launch follows an extensive beta testing period that provided valuable feedback from Hill staff.
A dynamic directory is the heart of 3121 and all members and staff can claim and maintain professional profiles on a system that updates in real-time. Staff will be able to quickly and accurately identify colleagues by legislative expertise, job function, office or party affiliation without having to flip through outdated booklets. 3121 adds collaboration tools and customized news feeds to boost productivity and efficiency in a fast-paced Hill workplace.
“3121’s directory is going to be very valuable for staying in touch and networking with people, and it’s a great touch that when you log in you are also greeted by the customized news feed about your committee,” said a House communications director who tested 3121.
“Our Capitol Hill subscribers are always looking for ways to serve their institution more effectively by working more effectively,” National Journal Group President Suzanne Clark said. “National Journal’s Washington in the Information Age research was a driving force in the creation of 3121. It showed us that Hill staff are looking for online tools to collaborate and manage the information overload. With 3121, they can quickly find the people and news they need and act on it right away, all in a secure setting.”
