This is a very cool blog.

This post, a summary of collective behavior research, is a nice follow up to my last few posts.

 I also happened into this visualization of voter behavior from the last presidential election.  It would be fun to extend this into specific issues but it’s pretty clear that consequences shape behavior and how their are different consequences by context (economic status, population density, university density, high mover index, etc. etc.).  What’s hard to figure out from a one year snap shot are the schedules.  How much does this map shift by person/family if we look at the same sample over 20 elections?
