Abstract
An article articulating two different points of view is provided to a reader, with each point of view associated with a respective hashtag. Social media streams associated with social media outlets are also collected and analyzed to identify occurrences of the hashtags in the social media streams, and to collect and analyze information relating to those occurrences. Scoring parameter values are assigned to each occurrence, with each scoring parameter value based on the related information, such as an identity of a notable social media user associated with the occurrence. A weighted score value is generated based on the scoring parameter values for each hashtag, and the weighted score value is presented to the reader of the article in real time. Additional visual information, such as trend lines, identities of notable social media users associated with certain occurrences, and other information may also be provided to the reader in real time.
