Yesterday the Sunlight Foundation launched “Poligraft,” a new tool to help netizens uncover the hidden web of political giving in news stories on the Internet – the patterns of political contributions that aren’t always obvious.
Using Poligraft is simple: just type or paste the URL or text of a news article, blog post or press release into it, and Poligraft will automatically scan that text for individual donors, corporations, lobbyists and politicians. Within seconds, you’ll see how they’ve been doing business with each other. Once Poligraft highlights the names of donors, corporations, lobbyists, or politicians, you can click on those names to learn more.
Check out Poligraft for yourself and see what you find out.
That’s pretty slick
omg, Nastaaaaaaaaaay!
The same principle as the horseflop Zuckin’ Fuckerburg ooops I mean Fuckin’ Zuckerburg does when tracking everyone, and storing all that data, and making sure that is you like pizza, all the pizza companies know you do. blah blah

(I mean come on…who’s gonna be walking those dogs eh? bada bing! so I got lasers pointed at my head as it is.)

Everyone’s net activity should not be tracked and revealed to bloggers with the ethics of scum suckers in fish tanks. ask Shirlye Sherrod.
