Is your news feed a bubble?

Here's an interesting little Chrome extension that'll give you an idea of how conservative or liberal your Facebook friends are. They use a friend's Likes of pages with known political leanings to determine this, and they indicate how reliable their automated assessment is with a Low/Medium/High (more liked pages = greater accuracy). http://politecho.org

FB is just so invasive.

life is good - sans FB.

*the very first time i ventured onto FB, i immediately saw some young relatives that i was pretty sure would not want me to view their pages. it felt so creepy. nothing wrong with their content! it just felt so weird.

i stayed away for years, until sometime after my granddaughter was born.
i relented, joined, added 1 friend, my daughter. she's now 9.

i miss viewing that page.
overall, tho, i'm not missing the whole of it.

from what i read, after the recent election, lots of FB folks were "unfriending" those who did not agree with their politics. nice.

Yeah, that's bad.

In Christ there is no Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, as long as we are all Republicans ;->

Kind of like using the foe function here on MN so we can ignore people who say things we don't like.

may be.
from what i observe on MN, it's a result of multiple conflicts, last resort, and not a sweeping rejection of groups of people. so, kinda-sorta. maybe.

i've never gotten the sense the foe/ignore option is used very often. may be, tho.

Sometimes.
Other times on MN the foe fxn is used as an exercise of Matthew 10:14 when the person tires of being targeted with insults and attacks from the same individual(s) repeatedly.

My initial thought too. I think these type of analytics are used by Google as data to sell to prospective clients interested in marketing to specific demographics.

IF it can be monetized, it WILL be monetized.
