The OKCupid blog, OkTrends, has put together another informative post. This time the topic is The Democrats Are Doomed, or How A ‘Big Tent’ Can Be Too Big.
Republicans form an exceptionally effective opposition party. Today, we’re going to perform a data-driven investigation of why this might be—and discover some fascinating things about the American electorate along the way. Our data set for this post is 172,853 people.
This is the kind of post that will get OKCupid a lot of exposure. It touches on dating but it’s much more of a meta-conversation about politics in general.
Favorite line: Republicans caucus block us.
I will say that while I get a kick out of the academic/fun tone of these posts, they’re getting a bit too technical for most people. Then again, OKC isn’t for most people.
How many fascinating blog posts like this did your dating site publish lately? Do they do research about their members and share that in the hopes that it will be helpful to all? I didn’t think so.
OkTrends is looking for a full-time blog analyst. Killer job for the right person.
