Site of the Day

Wednesday February 14, 2007
Political Friendster is a parody of Friendster with the stated goal of helping people "[visualize] the connections between players in the political game." Using a distributed content development model such as that used by the wildly successful Wikipedia, Political Friendster relies on site visitors to "create connections between political figures."

There are currently 110 pages of entries (40 per page), from 'Attica Prison riots' to 'Zurich-American Insurance Companies.'

You can see "friends" of the GOP as well as the Democratic National Committee. There are also factoids, like Chicken Hawks (Senators from the 108th Congress who did not served in the military), and organizations like the Carlyle Group.
