I love how the action unfolds at the end, each show competing for most buzz across Twitter while the tweets are streaming by! Nice work on lining up the commentary with events from the Emmys!
Unclear how this will play out. The decision to 'like' is more complex. What if you read text and watch a video? Which button do you click? I understand this generates more data - and that's the real power, but the LIKE has already become so ubiquitous.
I'm looking forward to testing this out. Smart and simple. With thousands of followers I'm always curious who is most influence in their network... and Klout alone doesn't cut it.

The marijuana topic is legit. We have ample data that shows overwhelming interest in the subject. It's not just about the drugs, it's also about the laws enforcing them. People don't necessarily want to get high, they just don't want to pay to have one of the highest per-capita imprisonment rates in the world.
