I am not a fan of rapper Eminem, let’s get that out of the way, but I am suitably impressed by the range of creative media that is being used to promote his latest album.

I love data-driven insights and I came across an analysis of words/phrases that correlate between those Twitter users with a high follower count or those with a low one.
