Updated: Here’s our (growing) list of social media efforts by news organizations on election day 2010, which we’ll update with links as they go live. Have stuff to add? Leave a comment or drop us a tweet at @lostremote, and we’ll tack it on the list.
ABC News will be streaming its coverage live on Facebook with live reports from ABC’s David Muir and Facebook’s Randi Zuckerberg (as “Facebook correspondents”) from Arizona State University. A separate ABC Web-only newscast, anchored by John Berman and Claire Shipman, will be streamed on Hulu, mobile platforms and Yahoo! beginning at 7 p.m.
CBS News is working with Google to showcase election search trends, as well as YouTube data about popular political videos. CBS News will also stream live on YouTube here.
CNN is analyzing Twitter conversations (above) with help from Crimson Hexagon. The visualization will “create a geographic illustration that shows viewers the climate of the country and reaction to the results.” On air, CNN will display it on its interactive “CNN Election Matrix,” a much larger version of its data wall.
Facebook has posted a big module (above) on top of everyone’s wall (18 and older in the U.S.) with a link to its polling place locator. And when you vote, you can click the “I voted” button, which Facebook will tally up — including showing which of your friends have voted.
Foursquare is handing out “I Voted” badges to users who check in at polling places. The check-ins also appear on an embeddable map (above). “This is our first step in encouraging users to check in for a great civic cause,” says Foursquare.
Huffington Post has been running its “Predict the News” game. Predict who will win on election day and challenge your friends on Facebook and Twitter.
LA Times has posted a custom Twitter widget on its home page displaying the latest updates from a small handful of reporters and editors.
NBC News and msnbc.com will be streaming in live embedded players in the right pane of Twitter.com as well as a live, shareable player embedded on users’ Facebook walls. In a partnership with Hashtag Art, the avatars of users who tweet the hashtag #electionday have become a part of a mosaic on msnbc.com (above). And viewers who check in at Gomiso.com will be able to earn a custom Decision 2010 badge.
New York Times has created a Twitter visualization (above) that highlights the number of posts related to candidates running for governor or the Senate.
PBS NewsHour will feature an integrated social media stream highlighting election comments on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and AIM, as well as comments by political analysts selected by the NewsHour staff. PBS will also stream live on Ustream from 10 p.m. into the early morning hours.
Storify, which allows you to embed tweets and other bits of social media, is being used in election coverage by the Washington Post, LA Times, Detroit News and Houston Chronicle.
TBD.com will be using Crowdmap to map voting problems. Beyond submitting reports via the map or email, users can use the hashtags #dcvote, #mdvote or #vavote.
Twitter asks that you add the hashtag #votereport to a Tweet about your experience at your polling place, and they’ll surface on TwitterVoteReport.com. In New York City, use #NYCvotes. And Twitter is asking folks to use #ivoted in tweets, as well, which appears with a special icon on Twitter.com (above).
Washington Post has become the first news organization to buy a Twitter promoted trend, #election. That means users who click the trend — which appears at the top of the trending list — sees a @washingtonpost tweet pinned to the top of the results (above). The newsroom is also running a live Twitter videocast, answering questions from tweets (which you can also watch embedded on Twitter.com).
We missing anything? Any local news organizations with creative social media efforts we should add? (Full disclosure: I work on social media at msnbc.com).
