Related to my recent post about politics and the web, TechCrunch’s Erick Schonfeld breaks down a report by the Pew Research Center studying the use of the Internet in political campaigns. Taylor (who left an excellent comment in my post) wrote his undergrad honors thesis about this very subject. Erick interprets the data to show that while the Internet is the not yet the main source of information on the elections and the campaigns, it is gaining ground and is should be the dominant political medium in 2012.
Taylor, as I mentioned before, is the political guru of Tropophilia, and so I won’t make what would be a feeble attempt to interpret the data further. I’m betting Taylor will write either a comment or his own post (*nudge*), but I did want to go ahead and post this little tidbit for your mid-day browsing pleasure.
I’ll take the hint and offer my own post in the coming days. I now challenge Jarred to describe the state of social networks in 10,000 words or more.
