Hello Mel, - Just a quick feedback. If quantitative for network analysis, take a look at *netvizz* (you can find the service through FB search engine; it produces network data with the group or the page id given.) You can use* Gephi *to demonstrate and visualize the page network data exported by netvizz. As far as I am concerned, this combination is relatively common for initial attempt. - Though not so relevant to tweets and facebook, recently I found a tool for LinkedIn network, socilab.com. LinkedIn member can look into their own, basic network metrics. In case this might be interested - for textual-visual annotation tool (memes, for example), I used to check the trial version of MAXQDA to go through threads of conversations in a huge facebook group.

Hi all,
I am teaching a social media research class in the fall and I’m looking for suggestions for tools I should teach my students. Right now, they’re all collecting and analyzing tweets and Facebook memes and whatever else by hand, and I want to diversify the things they know how to do with some technological options.
Apologies if this has been asked recently--the listserv archive is not the most searchable thing. Also, I suspect some tools have recently broken given shifts around privacy.
I’m mostly platform agnostic right now—I’ll look at what the options are and work backwards from there to which ones I want to teach. What can you recommend?
I’m happy to compile the suggestions and share with the list.
Thanks,
