Another great article about how diverse the political views of your friends on Facebook really are. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most vocal participants in the digital debate are the individuals on the two extremes of the political spectrum. Unfortunately, with nearly 2/3rds of the social networking community supposedly not even participating, it’s no wonder that debates in the comments section of statuses have become little more than hyper-polarized shouting matches reminiscent of two Howler monkeys flinging feces at each other.

This, along with many other factors including the often frustrating linear commenting system, is what convinced us that Facebook, while revolutionary, is still quite lacking as an effective tool for political engagement.
