I was proud.

I felt like a scout.

Likes — with one “i”

I like baseball.

I like baseball stats.

The best.

Likes Above Average (LAA)✴ 1 shot with 885 likes. (yikes!) 885✴ Average shot receives 17.4 likes. – 17.4✴ This shot has a LAA score of 867.4. 867.4

Dribbble has an API{ "players":[ { "shots_count":7, "twitter_screen_name":"IlustreBOB", "avatar_url":"http://dribbble.s3.amazonaws.com/users/44645/avatars/original/Perfil.j "likes_received_count":32, "name":"Bruno O. Barros", "created_at":"2011/07/08 15:59:17 -0400", "location":"Rio de Janeiro", "following_count":42, "likes_count":70, "website_url":"http://ilustrebob.com.br", "username":"IlustreBOB", "url":"http://dribbble.com/IlustreBOB", "rebounds_count":0, "draftees_count":0, "id":44645, "drafted_by_player_id":1, "followers_count":26, "comments_received_count":13, "comments_count":46, "rebounds_received_count":0

Liiikes is a:✴ Ruby on Rails app✴ With a little help from:

Swish✴ Swish wraps Dribbble’s API

Getting the data✴ Dribbble (as you know) works like a draft.✴ Start with these two guys:

Getting the data✴ Dribbble (as you know) works like a draft.✴ Start with these two guys:✴ Find the people they drafted.✴ Find the people those people drafted.✴ Find the people those people drafted.✴ ... (continue for a long time) ...✴ Finish

This is slow (and not so smart) ✴ Dribbble limits you to 60 calls per minute ✴ You’re walking a large tree of players ✴ It can’t ﬁnd people whose draft-er has been deleted

How slow is it?✴ Really really slow.✴ A recent refresh took 104 minutes and 25 seconds✴ 4,715 API queriesBut once you have the data, you can crunch thenumbers and you end up with something neat.
