Facebook for Politics: A breakdown

For those of you who are curious about how Facebook affects the political sphere, you might check out this post that breaks down some of the interesting info you can scrape about politicians and their campaigns from within Facebook:

Does it surprise you that that internet legend Ron Paul (53,104) has more than four times the friends Rudy does? (Well, Rudy has gotten in some trouble about his friends). He is also the only candidate to actually list his positions as part of the site’s Debate Group application. (“No” on waterboarding. “No” on changing the electoral college system. Pretty much “no” on everything.) Paul has no interests, but he does say that he has delivered more than 4,000 babies.

And so on. Well worth a quick read.
