How does Occupy Wall St. stack up against the tea party on Google?
Google Politics tell all from its informative political blog. Let’s compare, using the chart above and other data collected by Google:
- Occupy Wall St. has generated far more searches since its inception than the tea party ever has at any given moment.
- Despite that search edge, Occupy Wall Street “is almost in a dead heat with the Tea Party for the volume of news coverage… between October 7 and last week, Occupy Wall Street only barely bests the Tea Party when we examine the number of news pieces covering each movement: 29,000 to 22,000.
- One bit of trivia: Which states have had the highest search traffic for Occupy Wall St.? New York is number three - can you guess the intervening two? (Hint: Think crunchy. Real crunchy.)
- When does tea party surge as a search term? In April, just before Americans file their federal income taxes.
How do you get your Occupy Wall St. News? If you’re in Tumblr…
- Follow various Tumblr tags relating to the news - “Occupy Oakland” and “Occupy Wall St.” are particularly vibrant.
- Check out the “We are the 99%” Tumblr and its competitor, the “We Are the 53%” Tumblr.
- If not, read “The Occupied Wall Street Journal,” a publication of the protesters in New York.
