Predict November web 2.0 election style!
May 28, 2008
Predict November is a new website for predicting the outcome in November for the upcoming election. To make your own predictions on how weather the Democrats, Republicans, or Independents will win each state you simply go to your map and click states once to turn them red (Republican) twice to turn them blue (Democrat) and three times to turn them yellow (Independent). As you click each states the electoral results will be displayed above your map.
One of the nifty things about Predict November is that once you have created your your predictions on your map you can then, embed the map on your site or blog. Political blogs have been on the rise, and this is a great tool for political bloggers to use as the election comes closer and closer. For fun here is my map:
Here is an extra credit question for you blog readers. I will even through in an invite to a closed beta site if you get the answer right. Looking at my map, what would happen?
If you happen to have a lot of Political friends Predict November also has a Facebook application you can use to put your map on your Facebook page, and to see your friends predictions.
Not only can you make your own predictions and view and share your friends predictions for the elections but you can also see the results of past elections on maps too. For the political junky, these maps are very interesting to analyze and can also help you when creating your own map.
It looks like the upcoming election will be between Obama and McCain, who knows why Hilary is still there…Anywho Predict November is going to be a great asset for Political Blogger sin the upcoming months. To have a little fun, anyone who posts a a link to there predictions in November, and has the closest match to what actually happens in November will win some invites to closed beta website from me.
