We mentioned the other day that the Election Prediction Project has set up its new site for the forthcoming election.

Now, it's been joined by democraticSpace's latest election prediction site.

One new feature is that we're all linking to one another this time. The riding profile pages at Pundits' Guide contains links to the Election Prediction Project page for the same riding, which in turn contain links to older predictions for the same riding and a link back to the Pundits' Guide page. (There's still a little kink to iron out between Simcoe North and Simcoe – Grey, but we'll get there.)

Same goes for democraticSpace. He doesn't link internally, so I've included direct links to both the 2008 and 2009 prediction sites oh wait, he does now, I just noticed!

Meanwhile NoDice.ca has been reincarnated as ElectionAlmanac.com, and is also set to go for the forthcoming election. The Election Almanac doesn't have riding-specific pages, so I just have it on my Links page instead.

Some new participants in the online community are:

• ThreeHundredEight.com which uses the published national and regional polls to generate seat projections
• Canadian Election Watch a very new blog being written by "an exiled Quebecer" and "twenty-something expat living in the United States" which produces seat projections based on current polls with a bit of the author's own commentary added
  
• PoliTwitter.ca which tracks the Twitter activity of individual MPs, Senators, journalists and other political actors and observers (including yours truly), including stats, a directory, and rankings
• TweetCommons.com which tracks the Twitter conversations between tweeting politicians and others

As soon as I have a second to expand on my Candidate index pages, I'll be cross-referencing there with Trevor May's PoliTwitter.ca pages (he's already kindly linked to my riding profile pages, for example see Jason Kenney), and Cory Horner's HowdTheyVote.ca pages (here's the current top-talking MP Paul Szabo) which I notice that Trevor is also already linking to as well.

I'm also trying to get the Links page here into some kind of shape this morning. Some of it was horribly out of date (anyone remember "Mike Duffy Live" or "Politics with Don Newman"?), and the newer media compendia needed to be added in, along with links to the new mapping resources at GeoGratis.ca.
