Presidential Primaries & Twitter Tom Whittaker

January 9th, 2008

If you are interested in the Presidential Primaries, a very interesting site has popped up called Politweets.   It searches the public timeline from Twitter and shows posts containing names of the Presidential Candidates.

It is a very interesting use of social media to gain insight into which candidates are generating the biggest buzz.  You can see last night that Clinton & McCain’s wins in New Hampshire generated a lot of tweets with their names.  It is a very interesting way to look at how American’s feel about the candidates and how micro-blogging like Twitter is generating a lot of mash-ups.
