Hi Andrew, Are you aware of http://140kit.com/ that was recently posted to the group? I haven't looked at it in depth but it may be interesting for you. I'm a Green Movement activist (and soon to be Ph.D. student this fall studying the Green Movement's use of ICT from the perspective of political geography) and have worked directly with the Movement's IT decision-makers and implementers inside and outside of Iran. I spoke at Harvard's Berkman Center about the Green Movement recently and discussed Twitter a bit there ( http://bit.ly/5u15Fg ). I know many of the "top tweeters" for #iranelection on Twitter personally as fellow activists and am in contact with some of them daily. If I can be of any help with your research please let me know. Best of luck with your research! Cameran Quoting Andrew Tonge <andrewtonge@mac.com>:
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!
Thanks
