A detailed examination of more than 20 million Tweets about the race for president finds that the political discussion on Twitter is measurably different than the one found in the blogosphere-more voluminous, more fluid and even less neutral.
One distinguishing factor about the campaign discourse on Twitter is that it is more intensely opinionated, and less neutral, than in both blogs and news. Tweets contain a smaller percentage of statements about candidates that are simply factual in nature without reflecting positively or negatively on a candidate.
In general, that means the discourse on Twitter about the candidates has also been more negative.
And you should be too. Find, and contact, your reps.
Hilarious speech from the Prez. Stickin' it to 'em. Brilliant.
And Seth Myers. Awesome.
President Obama turned to an email and Web video to announce his re-election bid.
"Today, we are filing papers to launch our 2012 campaign," Obama wrote in an email. "We're doing this now because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you -- with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers, and friends."
Two and half years ago, Obama marshalled and managed digital FTW. Can he do it again? This is a/the start.
