September 28 2011 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
WebMediaBrands (Nasdaq:WEBM) today launched its 2012 Election
Tracker monitoring fan growth and marketing reach on Facebook for
electoral campaigns. The Election Tracker, produced in association
with Facebook, is published through InsideFacebook.com, the leading
news site covering the Facebook business and marketing ecosystem,
and uses data provided by Facebook to track total fans and top
gainers by party and by race.
“As Facebook’s reach surpasses an estimated 150 million users in
the United States, more entities, including political candidates
and current officials, are leveraging the platform to connect
directly with their constituencies,” says Justin Smith, founder of
InsideFacebook.com and VP of Social Media at WebMediaBrands, “With
the Election Tracker, our goal is to shed light on candidates’
efforts in social media, and introduce a tool for further analyzing
the role of Facebook on the campaign trail.”
Inside Facebook’s 2012 Election Tracker will begin by tracking
Facebook activity for presidential primary candidates and current
elected officials, and will add data for 2012 house, senate, and
gubernatorial races as candidates for those races are announced.
Data presented at the Election Tracker will be continually updated
leading up to Election Day 2012.
The Election Tracker serves as a central dashboard for
monitoring candidates’ popularity on Facebook and beyond, and is
the only service to provide data and analysis covering candidates’
campaign efforts using social media. As the nation’s pundits and
opinion pollsters gather data to make predictions for the 2012
election season, social media may prove to be an important
framework for evaluating candidates’ influence amongst key
demographics that are increasingly engaging with brands, and each
other, on Facebook.
