I Came across a great post on the twitter blog today about the chatter within the twitter community regarding the recent acceptance speeches by McCain, Palin, Obama, and Biden.

Twitter Chatter

I find the above chart fascinating. It simply looks at the number of times each candidates name was mentioned before, during, and after their acceptance speeches. If we were to look only at raw numbers it would look like McCain and Palin dominated and clearly connected. However, if you look into what was actually said you get a much different picture. Again, data without context is dangerous.

I encourage you to do a search on twitter for the names of the candidates and see exactly what I’m talking about.

For the record, I’m supporting McCain.
