there are a few methods to scale qualitative research...collecting public FB comments in very large numbers and then random sampling them is a DiscoverText option available to anyone during the 14-day free trial: http://discovertext.com/aboutdt/media.aspx#DiscoverTextVideo/6/ On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 5:58 PM, jose marichal <marichal@callutheran.edu>wrote:
Hi Tim (and all),
I did a content analysis of political Facebook groups and am afraid to admit that I used a simple cut and paste... if it's a qualitative analysis you're doing, it's only practical to analyze a few hundred cases anyway.
Good luck, Jose

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a tool that will extract content from Facebook public Pages and open Groups. I am not interested in collecting user profile data or conducting any type of network analysis - although tools that can collect additional data that fits my needs might work. Ideally, I am looking for a tool that can collect from specified Pages/Groups the entire set of comments and posts to the Page/Group, and if possible, "Likes" and other forms of user activity.
I am considering a research project analyzing content of Pages and Groups and would like an alternative to creating PDFs and manually entering data.
Thanks for your help! Tim
