RoleEngage D.C., Patrick Ruffini, Politics of the Social Web

Is it possible that the websites you visit are an indication of your political leanings? According to Engage D.C., that just may be the case.

“Over the past few months, we’ve crunched countless “Likes” from thousands of users of Trendsetter, our first-of-its-kind platform that ties together polling, social influence data, and consumer preferences,” writes Patrick Ruffini of Engage D.C. “We’ve used it to map the politics of the social web, analyzing the political partisanship of the user bases of various social properties. Using predictive modeling of Facebook likes, we tied political preferences and engagement to one’s choice of social media, and this bubble graph is the result.”

I love that the Paypal site is far to the Romney side. LOL I guess people that prefer to pay cash instead of using a credit card are more conservative.
