Data is extracted approx every 2 hours. Most services rate limit and none of the services offer "real time" data through their API (excepting Twitter).

Next video we do we'll turn down the peeping noise =)

The real time question was more of an catch question, actually. I would probably like and use an option to limit the refreshing of the data to every morning, 8 o'clock.

The analytics software at my current job is 'real' time and just motivates everybody to react like chickens or stay up late just to see the data early or refresh every 5 minutes. Not because it makes sense, but because it's possible.
