By accessing the Music Meter fans are able to view a daily list of the top 100 artists currently getting buzz around the internet and then carry on to check out any of the subject\u2019s photos, videos, bios, tweets, music, similar artists and more.<\/p>\n<p>The MTV Music Meter is, in this sense, just a charting system (albeit a more interactive one). What makes it noteworthy, however, is that it is a charting system that is determined by an algorithm (developed by MTV and EchoNest) that crawls the web for the most popular blog postings, video streams and other social media hype-machines. The daily top 100 is then composed from these findings, representing a traffic-driven approach to pop chart listings influenced by the real majority \u2014 that is, anyone with a computer and an opinion.<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialtimes.com\/2010\/12\/does-mtv-care-about-music-again-the-mtv-music-meter-is-a-good-start\/\" target=\"_blank\">click to continue reading at SocialTimes.com<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from Social Times Does MTV Care About Music Again?
