Microtargeting with Facebook
Facebook has semi-unintentionally opened up all of its metrics to the world. If you find "data fascinating" and want to play with it, target an advertisement (note: you can only get in as a Facebook member), and plug in what ever common interest you like (movie, TV show, pastime, whatever) in the keyword field. Separate these by gender or political persuasion to create controversial findings.
