techpresident.com....sweet.

Thanks to Allan Rosenblatt, I just looked at techpresident.com for this first time.  Interesting site with some cool features and cooler information.   Particularly nice that it attempts to be non-partisan.

This site integrates and integrates and then integrates some more.  Specifically, it integrates data from social networks directly into modules on its site.  For example, it collects data directly from Facebook and plots it on a colorful graph.  This instant visual perspective of “friend” supporters of different presidential candidates is informative, but, more importantly, shows how far ahead of the field Obama actually is.  (Although we need to admit, that Obama’s popularity is far more a function of who he is rather than his ass-kicking digital strategy).

Another nice integration feature is the Politickr which—on one page—shows the feeds from different social media outlets (YouTube, Twitter, blogs, etc.).  In quick glance, you can get a sense of what each campaign (or at this time, I suppose I should say campaign in remission) is writing about.

Another great integration is with Technorati.  On a series of charts, you see a graphical depiction of how often the candidates are mentioned in the blogosphere.
