Reblogged with TumTum ♻Super interesting data from a marketing firm in DC:
Like to sell stuff on eBay? You might be a Romney voter — and you’re probably very highly engaged politically. Like xckd and Tumblr? You’re totally in the Obama camp — but a bit less likely to exhibit political interests, at least if your Facebook likes are any indication.
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. 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.
My own usage habits lean toward Obama, I think. Here’s the breakdown for me:
Obama sites:
- xkcd
- Etsy
- tumblr
- Buzzfeed
- Wikipedia
- Yelp
Neutral sites:
- Gmail
- Youtube
- Wordpress
- Skype
Romney sites:
- Amazon
- Paypal
- LivingSocial
How accurate is this for your usage? Obviously it fails no matter what for me, since there’s no way I’m voting for either of these guys. Of course, it would probably also help if I didn’t use most of these sites XD

In Focus: Japan Earthquake, One Year Later
This Sunday, March 11, will mark the one-year anniversary of the horrific earthquake that struck northeastern Japan, spawning an incredibly destructive tsunami that crippled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. In the year that has passed, much has changed. Mountains of rubble have been cleared, but not fully disposed of yet. Nuclear power has fallen out of favor, and confidence in the government has been shaken. Japan mourns the confirmed deaths of more than 15,850 people, and still lists 3,287 as missing 12 months later. Questions remain about rebuilding villages, cleaning up the nuclear exclusion zone, and deciding the future of nuclear power in Japan. Collected here are recent images of those affected by the disaster, coping and moving on one year later.
