Aki on Fox9 News Aggregating the Chatter for Syfy's GhostHunters 
In this age of TV 2.0, the social chatter about our favorite shows is now as vital as the episode. In some instances, they complement each other, making a viewing party out of every episode. We've helped aggregate all the organic chatter about Syfy's popular GhostHunters show with an embedded "ChatterBox" on the networks' website.
