Background: On California Arts Day (October 7, 2011), the California Arts Council director challenged the head of the Arizona Commission on the Arts to a race--who can get to 10,000 "likes" on Facebook first? Starting at roughly the same number, about 4,500, each state is tracking their number of "likes" on an hour-by-hour basis. California started with a few hundred in the lead; at one point, Arizona pulled ahead; now California has regained the lead. The D.C. Commission on the Art and Humanities joined the contest a few days later and jumped into the lead almost immediately -- but as of today, we've passed them! Go, California, go.
