Fox was game to experiment with us on something that hadn’t been done before — real-time measurement of audience reaction over Twitter.

Adam Sharp, manager of government and political partnerships for Twitter in Washington, in a statement to the New York Times. Fox and Twitter Join Forces for Republican Debate 

The news: During next Monday’s Republican primary debate, Fox News and Twitter will analyze hashtags and feeds (in particular, #answer and #dodge) in an attempt to get real-time metrics on audience views.

In turn, Fox will display trends on its Web site and commentators will use the data as they analyze the debate afterwards.
