Visualizing Political Affiliation By Checkin Activity on Facebook When you use an app with location services enabled, you are adding a very valuable layer of data onto your already very valuable social network/targeted advertising profile. When location checkins on Facebook are crossed with the political affiliation of the user, what we get is a blue/red map of stunningly fine resolution. I bet you could go down to the county or below just using Tweets and Facebook activity. I don’t think people should necessarily be afraid of what they are sharing, but always keep in mind that when you check in you aren’t merely telling a few friends where you’re eating tacos. You’re feeding the data machine delicious tidbits about everything that you’re made of.
