I’ll be liveblogging the 2008 presidential primaries for Super Duper Fat Tuesday via Twitter. You can follow me at the account illinoizeyoshi, or use the RSS feed here. I’ll also have the last 20 updates embedded below.
I’ll be reposting this liveblog Twitter feed over at Illinoize as well throughout the evening. It’ll be random [...]

Found any other nifty charts, graphs, maps, interactive Flash apps, etc. that deals with the primaries tomorrow? Put them in the comments, I’d love [...]
Ever since I read a friend’s Facebook note that Barack Obama’s servers were crushed by the power of hope, I wondered how his traffic levels compared to Hillary Clinton’s.

In case you haven’t, check it out, but then keep reading as it ties into a few points I’ve been wanting to make about social networks, politics and now an interesting essay on the emergence [...]
