[edit] About the hack
Which artists garner the most kudos amongst your followers?
When are your followers the most active, offering the most "likes"?
This hack attempts to answer these questions in the context of This is my Jam in a dynamic personal dashboard.
"I should post a David Bowie jam at 18:00 GMT on a Thursday."
Idea partially inspired by @alsothings when we realised we had the same question about daily and weekly cycles on the site. I've since been told the @neomoha wrote a paper on a similar topic, as well.
[edit] Images/Screenshots
Raw number of likes garnered across the user's followers:
Number of likes scaled down so that users' manias don't dominate:
One might think Radiohead is most popular, but it's clear that popularity is down to a few users favouriting Radiohead out of proportion. David Bowie has the broadest base of support.

Make it deployable. Analysis can take several minutes per user, so the files are pre-calculated for now.
