Donkey Versus Elephant
People in USA choose an animal they like every four years. They do not have a choice of all the animals in the forest or a zoo. They choose between a donkey and an elephant.
I have been talking about Big Elephants in this blog routinely. I alert you not to get confused about the BIG DATA icon or a mascot I use in the poetic analogy and the Republican Elephant and Democratic Donkey.
I am in Datafest event in Stanford University campus today Saturday the May 19 and tomorrow Sunday May 20, 2012, where I am currently listening to professors of the Journalism Department and an executive from the non-profit organization called Sunlight foundation. They are all talking about Presidential elections and how the campaign funding varies and is influenced.s
My interest is more fundamental. Voting, funding and elections at all local, state and national governmental are influenced by public opinion, which varies, forms and mutually influences and finally can be studied in terms of events, actions, influences through a variety and diversity of media and communication, organizations and events and family and society events, economy, international politics and events, and most importantly the phenomena of the post 2000 era: Social Media and Social Networking.
Let us see how the datafest is go to unfold.
