Huffington Post to Roll Out Election Dashboard

As more and more political candidates embrace social media, The Huffington Post is looking to become the place to track their every tweet.

The self-proclaimed Internet newspaper is planning to roll out what it calls Election Dashboard, a central hub where political junkies can track the pulse of the electorate in real time up until the midterm elections on Nov. 2.

Among the dashboard’s more distinctive features will be up-to-the-minute data compiled by Viralheat, an analytics firm specializing in social media.

According to HuffPo officials, Viralheat will be able to provide insight on the way voters are swinging—as the election precedes—by tracking activity on social and video sites.
