Not Quite The Behavior Of The Political Blogosphere
Red state / blue state political maps now have a behavioral map to further support the simplistic notions of a two-party system!
Don’t get me wrong, I find the visceral imprint of this study from the school of information at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor fascinating, but I’m hoping that as we further our attempts to understand one another through similar human behavior studies using our interactions on the web, we’ll look to use less obvious attributes than political party affiliations as a control.

I realize you’re making a serious point here, but I’m such a nonartist I look at things like this and have to resist the urge to just stare at it and say, “Pretty!”
it is absolutely beautiful.
