Why do people insist on talking about the plot line of `24' when those of us on the West Coast haven't seen it yet?
Really, guys? We're going to tweet Glee spoilers? It's fine. I didn't want to watch it on tivo tomorrow or anything... nope... not me.
@user9452636 pls Stop spoiling 24 for those of us at work and who have it tivo'd....I'm too addicted to twitter to shut it off
A Challenge
Preventing spoilers requires blocking 100% of tweets related to an event. This is insane.
A Naïve Test – Blacklisting
Building Blacklists
TV Shows Character names Actor names
Sports Player, coach, team names Positions, plays, events Stadiums, cities
Removed 1- and 2-letter words, punctuation, stop words
Results
Overall, very effective 24 – 1 tweet missed (1.26%) Glee – 6 tweets missed (3.24%) NFC Championship – 20 tweets missed (1.64%)
But misses can be really bad!Wow. Two drives, two TDs. 7-7. This is going to be fun!
False positives are a problem 24 – 68.7% Glee – 30.5% NFC Championship – 70%
