Thanks Lauren. The stats might be a bit off though, in some areas. Meerkat (Video Streaming) shut down in 2016. I know it’s different sources for the info, though. Would love to see someone create a live (realtime) version of this. It’d be resource prohibitive, but totally interesting 🙂
Thanks for your comment. I’d love to learn more about Happy Bulletin. Cheers, Lauren
