I'm in a similar situation as Robert McLaws, both my blog and Gamercast I have tied up to FeedBurner, soon that data gets assimilated into Google.

I am glad that the European Union is investigating Google on their privacy issues, storing your search data for two years, no private company should have so much information, and if you take part in some of Google's other services, they've got all your webpage visits too.

I see that Robert McLaws has done some digging to come up with the donations that tech company's employees have made to the two right-wing US political parties, the currently reigning Republican Party, and the Democratic Party.

Google's employees it turns out is the most politically active, not that surprising really, with over $50 000 donated in total, Microsoft coming in second with just over $40 000.

All the tech companies Robert covered gave more to the Democrats, except two, can you guess which? Yep, Adobe and Apple employees have given more to the Republicans.

It's interesting to see the ratios of support within each company. Google, Yahoo being heavily Democratic. Microsoft being largely Democratic and Apple being slightly Republican.

I wonder if I can get any of them to donate for my political campaign.
