So far, on pure incoming blog posts as tracked by Technorati (disclosure, run by my little brother), Hillary Clinton is generating far more conversation online than John Edwards or Barack Obama. The chart below shows the track for the last thirty days, with a huge spike for Hillary around her announcement in late January, a smaller spike for Obama just before that, which was probably around his filing exploratory papers, and a lesser jump for Edwards in late December when he officially launched his campaign. Edwards also shows a recent boost, no doubt around all the controversy over his hiring two feminist bloggers with a paper trail that offended some rightwingers. This is a dynamic chart, so it should start to show whatever spike Obama will get around today’s announcement of his candidacy.
