Updated data on Twitter before/after @ChuckWendig being fired from @Marvel/@StarWars. The new part is the number of bots (fully automated accounts) tweeting about Wendig. I'm amazed by how many bots there were. The # of tweets from normal accounts is in this graph. Of note: Lots more real people paid attention when he was fired vs after his initial tweetstorm. Also, @EthanVanSciver is right that legit accounts found Wendig through him – there is a bump after he tweeted his YouTube link.
