What I don’t understand about this company is how it supposedly uses facebook data that facebook itself doesn’t use for its ad platform. They seem to want to point out that they are smarter than facebook, and therefore are a better choice to do targeted ad publishing through. Why are they so relatively unknown and underused then? Any company could use this data to do better business, and it would be trivial for facebook to compile it. That it would have caused the election to swing seems a little far fetched. If anything, it would have provided the campaign with more than ever information about what the American people really want, and how much they want it. That there is lots of talk and no action is the fault of the campaigning party, not of the system used to figure out what their fellow citizens really care about. Republican president follows a Democratic double term, news at 11?
- d4nt 9y agoI think Facebook would be missing the correlations of likes to the Big Five personality traits. But they could rebuild it if they wanted to, by promoting a free personality test on their site. (I assume that correlations between personality traits and political learnings has been researched before and there’s various bits of data available?) Then you can go from targeting ads at likes to targeting ads at political views.
