I have a coworker who is obsessed with Ron Paul. He insists on sending out multiple emails per week about him and trying to get the word out about his favorite candidate. I have no problem with him being active and trying to get new people interested in Ron Paul, in fact I find some of the information he sends out quite informative and I think Ron Paul has some progressive and fresh viewpoints compared to all of the other GOP candidates. Some people that I work with don’t appreciate his consistent urging, but its no bother to me.
I was browsing an article today on Lifehacker touting the coolness of some of the lesser known Google web applications. One of them is Google Trends, which will give you a nice little graphic comparing the search volume and news references of a website over time. It attempts to give you what I would call a “Web Popularity” ranking I guess. Not really sure how accurate it is, or what it really means, but the results were exactly in line with what my coworker has been preaching: Ron Paul is popular, especially online, yet he isn’t getting any media coverage.
