Well some time goes by, and it is actually getting to be close to Valentines day, and so I go to check on the “crock pot” Google sheets that have been supposedly simmering and getting juicy with love tweets, only to find that the volume and content of Geo-tagged tweets is best to be described a “Meh”.
