Australian Twitter Sport Census: Most popular clubs & athletes in Canberra
The team and athlete list is based on the list found at ListDecember26.csv. I’m going to compare the results for December 26 with the November 18 most popular list. The December list is much more comprehensive than the November 18 one, which could account for some of the changes in ranking.
Data, data, data! Squee! Squee! Squee!
Looking at the data for comparison purposes, something got a bit screwed up somewhere. Teams are missing that shouldn’t be missing, namely the ACT Brumbies. The only reason I can think of for that is if a team renamed their account (seems doubtful) and I just didn’t pick up on it. Translation: I know the totals are right but I didn’t write the script so I can’t trouble shoot as to why these teams are missing. (What may have happened is that there were errors and some accounts were missed so I need to run the script again.)
