One of the fantastic aspects of launching software using social media is you receive immediate, invaluable feedback from your user base.

Based on this feedback, we changed the interface to the Facebook version of Election Predictor a few days ago to make it easier to understand.

Today, we also changed how the Election Predictor applies swings, especially in seats where the Australia Electoral Commission has changed the boundaries. Of course, this cannot be science — our voting system is just too complicated, and some critical factors like the distribution of preferences won't be decided until much closer to election day. However, while you're having fun with Election Predictor it's nice to know that we've put as much time as possible into ensuring it generates indicative results.

So, if you've tried it before but not touched it for a while, now is the time to take Election Predictor for another spin.
