Exercise 1

Analyze Singapore General Elections 2011 tracker (http://ge.swarm.is/)

This tracker allowed users to:

1) See which issues rose in popularity during the election
2) What are the concerns of Singaporeans
3) When did the issues picked up pace in popularity
4) How fast did the news spread
5) How quickly the news died
6) Agenda settings by the media
