What predicts an article popularity? In this competition, you'll be using data from Mashable (mashable.com), a digital media website, defined (by themselves) as a leading source for news, information & resources for the Connected Generation.
Time magazin noted Mashable as one of the 25 best blogs in 2009, and has been described as "one stop shop" for social media. As of November 2015, it has over 6,000,000 Twitter followers and over 3,200,000 fans on Facebook. In this problem, you'll use data from thousands of articles published by Mashable in a period of two years to see which variables predict the popularity of an article.
