Most popular AFL teams across social media sites (February 14, 2011)
This is mostly for my own interest. Data for these sites is because I have a script to automatically fetch this information. Foursquare is when I have identified games. Alexa and Twitter are gotten daily. Facebook is every third day. Trying to determine a schedule for ebay.
Any thoughts? Are the results for the most popular and least popular teams who you would have predicted?
