@nookie:

I mean, c'mon, how many DC residents even knew it was in play? A decision was made, then reversed in 6 hours while everyone was at work and most DC'ers had no idea until they picked up their paper this morning.

That's not really relevant at all - the question is how many more were aware of it thanks to social media than would have been aware of it otherwise. That's the entire point - if Gray removed this at 2am, set for a vote the next morning, the only way people would have found out about it in the old media world would have been either by watching public access TV or by reading about it in a newspaper after it was all said and done.
