See also Quote-Back Technology
Why is it important?
- Very hot data
- Takes a lot of time to manually update stats
- Moves us towards implementing Quote-Back Technology
- Eventually people will begin to consume our data and the campaigns themselves may begin to keep track of what is happening on Portal:2008_Presidential_Election
DoneDone
- Use compost to retrieve the data instead of the hacked heuristics
- Code is well tested
- Automagically refreshes the page every day
- Calls a human when values fall out of the expected norms
- BONUS: Create a machine readable datafeed of this data that others can consume.
Notes
- Portal:2008 Presidential Election/Social Stats (experimental) -- page used to test spike
