As political pundits comment on who the clear winner was from the 2008 Vice Presidential debate, bloggers and social media enthusiasts across the Internet have found that each candidate benefited from their appearance.
The reaction to Republican Governor Sarah Palin and Democratic Senator Joe Biden's debate on Thursday night was positive when compared to the weeks preceding the debate. According to RelevantNoise(TM), Zeta Interactive's technology that mines the Internet's social media landscape including over 100 million blogs, as well as countless message boards and online communities, Governor Palin received the greatest amount of buzz, or volume of posts being generated on the Internet, increasing from just under 2,800 posts the day before the debate to nearly 6,000 the day following. An additional noteworthy development is the increase in positive reactions online. Biden was the clear winner in terms of positive reaction from the debate, as he received a 20 percent increase in positive buzz (from 50 percent to 70 percent) following the debate. Palin, who had previously been slipping in positive feedback on blogs and online communities, shifted her online perception slightly after the debate, increasing to 51 percent positive. "The advantage of Zeta Interactive's RelevantNoise technology is its ability to analyze an event like the Vice Presidential debate by effectively reporting on how the online community reacted to the VP candidates before and after the debate," said Al DiGuido, CEO of Zeta Interactive. "By mining through millions of blogs and online media sites we are able to keep our finger on the true pulse of the voting public." The next stop on the campaign trail will be the second Presidential debate between Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican candidate John McCain on Tuesday, October 7 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. and their speeches are likely to draw even more reaction in the blogosphere.
