Political Donations For Search Engines
By: Jordan McCollum 2008-02-05 I found this Google Maps mashup called Fundrace 2008 on Huffington Post that lets me spy on my neighbors and see what theyve donated to political campaigns. You can search by company and by name. After I finished searching for my relatives and famous people I started searching by company. Remember, this isnt complete but people whove identified themselves as employees of one of these companies that happen to be in the news a lot today. Overall, they are heavily skewed towards the Democrats (just like the media, right? The numbers on this tool show that to be true: of those who identify themselves as journalists gave $8,660 to Republicans compared to $101,543 to Democrats). It looks like Yahoo employees arent in the giving mood lately, which is understandable. Here are the donations of Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft employees (as reported): Yahoo: $0 to Republicans $14,174 to Democrats Google: $38,692 to Republicans $141,963 to Democrats Microsoft: $69,093 to Republicans $166,420 to Democrats CommentsTag: Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Politics Add to Del.icio.us | Digg | Reddit | Furl Have a bookmark! - ![]() View All Articles by Jordan McCollum About the Author: Jordan McCollum is a staff writer for the popular marketing blog Marketing Pilgrim.
