I started this blog as part of a 2009 New Year’s resolution to learn more about social media and share my hobby projects with the web community.

It is fun and useful to measure social media phenomena in order to:

• develop a sense of what people are really thinking and doing,
• substantiate (or falsify) intuitions developed as a user of social media,
• and discover interesting new insights by mining the data.
