The last time I followed an event live like this, comet Shoemaker-Levy-9's impact on Jupiter, the web was in its infancy, and blogging wasn't yet possible.
I'd created a hub on the Mars Curiosity landing. Tonight, I've been following the whole thing minute by minute, watching the live broadcast from NASA /JPL headquarters in Pasadena, and following the telemetry from the Curiosity spacecraft during final approach. It was nailbiting!
I was uploading vids, screencaps, the first pictures back from the rover, and notes on the broadcast as it was happening. I kept editing and then republishing the hub, with an occasional Tweet as stuff was happening.
I know, I shouldn't self-promote, but dangit, this was exciting!

I have done a lot of research about my hubber score and I can't find any glaring reasons to explain why it is so embarrassingly low... I've spent a couple months trying to work it up but haven't made any progress whatsoever. My daily views hover around a thousand and the majority of my hubs are...
