Well that looks easy enough if it's static data, but I can't imagine it is static data that's been manually inputted. The real question I'm asking would be how did they locate and then auto-populate those "social mention" metrics into the Annotation Chart? I'm sure they are not manually adding the mention data for every article they post. Any clue how they might be finding this data and then automating the charting of it? I can't seem to find any clues in their page source, unless I'm missing something.
