Political Sentiment Gauge
Sub Title: Tinder for Politics
This project aims at designing a POC of a service allowing to express sentiments on political topics/issues. These topics and issues are crowdsources based on participants and also on a pertinent subset of Twitter #Tags and political figures tweets.
Expression of sentiments can be of 2 types: - Yes|No|Neutral
- UP vote | Down vote
It can also be possible to add a free text short comment that can optionally be Tweeted.
The POC will be composed of : - an App initially iOS but can be easily ported to Android.
- A backend system for the service
Questions and open issues :
- Timing of votes (cut off dates / times) ?
- Withdraw of votes ?
- Thresholds before revealing participants
- Metadata : geolocation, demographic (age, gender, …)
- Evolution (first votes latest votes)
Data
- A sample list of the last tweets of all Geneva candidates tweets.zip (We could select any canton in the Swiss romande)
