Mashup Culture

The Greens are seeing trends exposed within their site that they say aren’t being covered anywhere else. For example, Adam Green points out that Herman Cain has around 20,000 followers (small-time amongst the candidates), but often ranks high in mentions and retweets. Green also noticed that Sarah Palin has a high ratio of mentions to retweets. “People love to talk at her and about her, but don’t seem that interested in what she is actually saying,” Green said.
