If anyone has the scoop on what people are thankful for, it’s Facebook. They don’t need to tap anyone on the shoulder, send out any surveys or buy any data sets. The world’s leading social networking site is rich in “likes," data, and some of the world’s best data scientists.
And not just that, but Facebook also has enthusiastic members who thrive on holiday challenges like “write down 3 things you are thankful for every day for the next 5 days.”
To a data scientist an onslaught of information like this spells opportunity to discover what most of us, collectively, believe is good in our lives and in the world.
