Andrew Tonge <andrewtonge@mac.com> 5/07/2010 8:36 PM >>> Hi everyone,
I'm trying to do some research regarding the use of twitter in last year's iranian elections, trying to take into account the media hype(?) at the time and the current re-examination a year on. Does anyone have any advice on ways to get old tweets? I know the library of congress in now archiving them but I'm unable to find any way to access this, currently i'm using a google search (#iranelection site:twitter.com) with a specific date range to produce some data. Furthermore, i'm trying to narrow down a methodological approach to deal with the data, i've been looking at Kozinets netnographic methods but i'm not sure how suitable they are to this kind of research. If anyone has any advice on this, it too would be greatly appreciated!
