I would also like to point out that your choice of collection/analysis tool will depend on whether you need direct access to the data. Generally speaking, it is my understanding that unless you collect the data yourself (or pay an authorized reseller like Gnip for it), you aren't allowed (by Twitter's TOS) to "handle" the raw data--you can only view aggregate statistics and analytics. To do systematic Twitter data collection at scale, a web server is almost always required. ~DEEN On 9/28/2012 1:04 PM, Alex Leavitt wrote:
