Facebook Wants You To Vote Today
By Ben Haber
November 2nd, 2010
Facebook is doing it’s best to get people into the voting booth today. At the top of every news feed there is now a reminder that it’s election day, a counter showing how many Facebook users have voted, and a button to click when/if you vote. It even shows which friends of yours have voted already.
They’re clearly doing their best to make voting seem like part of a club/group and get people to the polls with a little peer pressure – no one wants to be left out of a group…
