TechPresident is proud to announce a partnership with TubeMogul, whose beautiful charts make it easy to track and analyze online video. After building our own charts tracking the number of YouTube viewers and subscribers for each presidential candidate, we discovered that TubeMogul was providing much more dynamic charts showing the same information but with plenty of room for innovation. For now, we're displaying mostly the same information as our older charts, except that rather than show the number of channel views (which, as you may remember, is problematic), they show the total number of views for each individual video, which we think is a more accurate number. Also, there's some added candy.

First, when you roll over the dots on the graphs (each dot represents a day) you'll see the cumulative number of views for each candidate up to that day. By default, the graph shows data from the last month; use the grey scrollbar at the bottom to view earlier data.

All Candidates

Democrats

Republicans

Second, in addition to charting the number of views for each "publisher" (the candidates, in TubeMogul's parlance), we're also using a separate chart that displays the number of views for each candidate who has participated in YouTube's Spotlight series; this is a quick way to see the effect Spotlight has had on the candidates.

We're quite pleased with these new charts; let us know what you think!

Also, check out our YouTube subscriber charts, which show the number of subscribers to the candidates' YouTube channels.

If you're looking for the old charts, they're archived here.
